Presents a command-line interface to your app that is accessible via a web-browser.

• Define commands in the application, and handle them a/synchronously.
• Send asynchronous messages to connected clients.
• Modifiable appearance: Font/color, Background color/image/gradient.
• ILogger/ILoggerProvider implementations for use as a logging target.
• Supports HTTPS and basic authentication.
• Usable within any C# application type. No need for IIS, etc.

Install the package MaintCLI from Nuget.org. Or, from the package manager console:

PM> Install-Package MaintCLI

To publish the interface, you can call Start() on the default static instance:

MaintCli.Default.Start(httpEndPoint: new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 5000));

To add a command:

MaintCli.Default.AddCommand(
  new CommandBuilder("echo", "echos the argument you specify", "echo \"hello wrold\"")
	.AddArgument("text", "the string, surrounded by quotes, to echo")
	.Execute((sender, args) =>
	{
	  MaintCli.Default.SendMessageTo(sender, args["text"]);
	})
	.Build());
