CDS.CLIMenus

CDS.CLIMenus is a library for creating very simple and quick console-app menus. It is great for simple demo and test applications.

It's available for .Net 8 and .Net Framework 4.8 console applications.

It will only save you 10-20 minutes of coding, but that leaves more time for the fun stuff!

In this release there is only a basic menu system, in the Basic namespace. Future release will include more advanced features.

Correction: this release prompts the user to hit any key after running the menu action. This feature was meant to be in the original release, but was accidentally left out!

Usage

Fluent API for Building Menus

The following example demonstrates how to use the fluent API to build and run a menu:

using CDS.CLIMenus.Basic; 
using ConsoleDemo;

new MenuBuilder("Main menu")
	.AddItem("Generate Prime Numbers", new PrimeNumberGenerator().Run) 
	.AddItem("Play High-Low Game", "Try to guess the number I'm thinking of!", new HighLowGame().Run) 
	.Build() 
	.Run();

Console Screenshot

Conventional API for Building Menus

Alternatively, you can use the conventional API to build and run a menu:

using .Basic; 
using ConsoleDemo;

var menuItems = new List<MenuItem>
{
    new("Generate Prime Numbers", () => new PrimeNumberGenerator().Run()),
    new("Play High-Low Game", "Try to guess the number I'm thinking of!", () => new HighLowGame().Run())
};

var menu = new Menu("Main Menu", menuItems);
menu.Run();
