README

Chewie is a package that helps you build text-based user interfaces (TUIs) with Laravel Prompts. It helps to reduce some of the boilerplate code and adds some helpers for alignment, animation, and more.

Warning

This package is currently in active development. The API is subject to change. Documentation will also improve over time.

Installation

composer require joetannenbaum/chewie

Registering Renderers

use App\Renderers\DemoRenderer;
use Chewie\Concerns\RegistersRenderers;

class Demo extends Prompt
{
    use RegistersRenderers;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->registerRenderer(DemoRenderer::class);
    }
}

You can also tell Chewie that all of your renderers live within a specific namespace, then Chewie will resolve your renderers automatically.

For example, if you call the following in your AppServiceProvider:

use Chewie\Renderer;

class AppServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Renderer::setNamespace('App\\Renderers');
    }
}

Then you can simply do the following when registering renderers. Chewie assumes your renderer class will be your app class + Renderer:

use Chewie\Concerns\RegistersRenderers;

class Demo extends Prompt
{
    use RegistersRenderers;

    public function __construct()
    {
        // Will register App\Renderers\DemoRenderer
        $this->registerRenderer();
    }
}

Drawing Art

You can easily print ASCII art from a file out to the terminal in your renderer:

use Chewie\Concerns\DrawsArt;

class DemoRenderer extends Renderer
{
    use DrawsArt;

    public function __invoke(Demo $prompt): string
    {
        // Returns a collection of the lines from your art,
        // assumes a ".txt" extension
        $this->artLines(storage_path('my-art/horse'))
            ->each($this->line(...));

        return $this;
    }
}

You can also tell Chewie where all of your art files live:

use Chewie\Art;

class AppServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Art::setDirectory(storage_path('my-art'));
    }
}

which allows you to simplify the artLines call to:

use Chewie\Concerns\DrawsArt;

class DemoRenderer extends Renderer
{
    use DrawsArt;

    public function __invoke(Demo $prompt): string
    {
        $this->artLines('horse')->each($this->line(...));

        return $this;
    }
}

Alignment

Chewie comes with methods that help align content within the terminal.

use Chewie\Concerns\Aligns;

class DemoRenderer extends Renderer
{
    use Aligns;

    public function __invoke(Demo $prompt): string
    {
        $width = $prompt->terminal()->cols();
        $height = $prompt->terminal()->lines();

        $lines = [
            'Hello!',
            'My name is Joe',
        ];

        $this->centerHorizontally($lines, $width)
            ->each($this->line(...));

        $this->centerVertically($lines, $height)
            ->each($this->line(...));

        $this->center($lines, $width, $height)
            ->each($this->line(...));

        $this->line($this->spaceBetween($width, ...$lines));

        $this->pinToBottom($height, function() {
            $this->newLine();
            $this->line('This is pinned to the bottom!');
        });

        return $this;
    }
}
