About Dotmenu

A straightforward console menu library designed to streamline user interactions in console applications. Works on every terminal that supports ANSI escape codes.

Installation

Dotmenu can be added to your project with:

dotnet add package Natesworks.Dotmenu

Usage

Creating a menu is similar to creating a host for modern .NET applications:

Menu.CreateDefaultBuilder()
    .SetTitle("Sample")
    .SetPrefix("")
    .SetSelector(">")
    .AddOption<PlayOption>()
    .AddOption<CreditsOption>()
    .AddOption(text: "Exit", static () => Environment.Exit(0))
    .Build()
    .Run();

Builders

Currently, there are a few builders available to help you create menus:

• Menu.CreateDefaultBuilder()
• Menu.CreateCenteredBuilder()
