EasyMenu

Simple library built on .NET standard to create a console menu interface

Features:

• Asynchronous/synchronous function
• Possibility of making unlimited Sub-Pages
• Return and navigation header
• Configurable options
• It is extremely easy-to-use

Preview:

Example:

// BreadCrumbHeader (boolean - default: false) = Enable/disable display of navigation between pages
// UserInputMessage (string - default: "Choose your option") = The message that the user will be prompted to type the option

using EasyMenu;
using EasyMenu.Models;
    
MenuBuilder MenuSettings = new MenuBuilder(BreadCrumbHeader: true, UserInputMessage: "Choose:")

    // You can add lambda expressions
    .WithMenu("Page A", () => { Console.WriteLine("Hi from Page A!"); })

    // or.. directly call an (a)synchronous method
    .WithMenu("Page B", MyMethod)

    // or.. make a sub pages
    .WithMenu("Page C", new[]
    {
        // Inside you can do exactly the same as in .WithMenu
        new Menu("SubPage A", () => { Console.WriteLine("Hi from SubPage A!"); }),

        // Also you can create all the SubPages you want within others
        new Menu("SubPage B", new[]
        {
            new Menu("SubPage BA", () => { Console.WriteLine("Hi from SubPage BA!"); }),
            new Menu("SubPage BB", () => { Console.WriteLine("Hi from SubPage BB!"); }),
            // (...)
        })
    });

// e.g. Page > Page2 > Page3
MenuSettings.HeadNavigationSeparator = ">"; // Optional

// Page > Page2 > Page3
// --- <- this
// 1. (...)
MenuSettings.HeadNavigationMenuSeparator = "---"; // Optional

// The error message input
MenuSettings.ErrorUserInput = "Invalid Input!"; // Optional

// Build to MenuConsole
MenuConsole consoleMenu = MenuSettings.Build();

// Display menu - UpdateConsole (Optional): Refresh the console after there is an error
consoleMenu.Show(UpdateConsole: true);

static void MyMethod()
{
    Console.WriteLine("Hi from MyMethod!");
}
