PamposTools.InShell

InShell is a library for interactive console applications. Includes common input/output helpers and is based on the Command Pattern for quickly creating tasks/actions to be executed from a console application. I've made this for my own personal use but i thought I'd publicize, maybe it'll help some folks.

Usage

internal class Program
{
    private static void Main(string[] args) {
        var service = new ConsoleServiceBuilder()
            .WithName("TESTER SERVICE")
            .WithDefinitions(
            new CommandDefinition(1, "some description", new TestCommand()),
            new CommandDefinition(2, "Test some description", () => { System.Console.WriteLine("Writing from action"); })
            )
            .WithDefinition(3, "some other description", () => { System.Console.WriteLine("Writing from another action"); })
            .WithDefinition(4, "Fly or not?", new Test2Command())
            .Build();

        service.Start();
    }
}

Use the ConsoleServiceBuilder to build your service with CommandDefinitions You can implement your custom Commands and add them to a definition.

Or you can implement your own ConsoleService like so:

public class TestService : ConsoleService
{
	public TestService() {
		SetupCommandDefinitions();
		Name = "TEST SERVICE";
	}

	private void SetupCommandDefinitions() {
		CommandDefinitions.Add(new CommandDefinition(1, "Command 1", Command1));
		CommandDefinitions.Add(new CommandDefinition(2, "Command 2", Command2));
		CommandDefinitions.Add(new CommandDefinition(3, "Command 3", Command3));
		CommandDefinitions.Add(new CommandDefinition(4, "Command 4", Command4));
	}

	private void Command1() {
		PrintHelper.PrintLine("This is command 1");
	}

	private void Command2() {
		PrintHelper.PrintLine("This is command 2", LogLevel.Information);
	}

	private void Command3() {
		PrintHelper.PrintLine("This is command 3", LogLevel.Critical);
	}

	private void Command4() {
		PrintHelper.PrintLine("This is command 4", LogLevel.Warning);
	}
}

Once ready, call Start()
