== Function List

• Inane\Cli\out($msg, ...)
• Inane\Cli\out_padded($msg, ...)
• Inane\Cli\err($msg, ...)
• Inane\Cli\line($msg = '', ...)
• Inane\Cli\input()
• Inane\Cli\prompt($question, $default = false, $marker = ':')
• Inane\Cli\choose($question, $choices = 'yn', $default = 'n')
• Inane\Cli\menu($items, $default = false, $title = 'Choose an Item')

== Progress Indicators

• Inane\Cli\notify\Dots($msg, $dots = 3, $interval = 100)
• Inane\Cli\notify\Spinner($msg, $interval = 100)
• Inane\Cli\progress\Bar($msg, $total, $interval = 100)

== Tabular Display

• Inane\Cli\Table::__construct(array $headers = null, array $rows = null)
• Inane\Cli\Table::setHeaders(array $headers)
• Inane\Cli\Table::setRows(array $rows)
• Inane\Cli\Table::setRenderer(cli\table\Renderer $renderer)
• Inane\Cli\Table::addRow(array $row)
• Inane\Cli\Table::sort($column)
• Inane\Cli\Table::display()

The display function will detect if output is piped and, if it is, render a tab delimited table instead of the ASCII table rendered for visual display.

You can also explicitly set the renderer used by calling Inane\Cli\Table::setRenderer() and giving it an instance of one of the concrete Inane\Cli\table\Renderer classes.

== TextTable Display

Alternative table display.

[source,php]

$tt = new \Inane\Cli\TextTable(); $tt->addHeader(['Name', 'Description']); $tt->addRow(['TextTable', 'Alternative table display.']); echo $tt->render();

== Tree Display

• Inane\Cli\Tree::__construct()
• Inane\Cli\Tree::setData(array $data)
• Inane\Cli\Tree::setRenderer(cli\tree\Renderer $renderer)
• Inane\Cli\Tree::render()
• Inane\Cli\Tree::display()

== Argument Parser

Argument parsing uses a simple framework for taking a list of command line arguments, usually straight from $_SERVER['argv'], and parses the input against a set of defined rules.

Check examples/arguments.php for an example.

== Usage

See examples/ directory for examples.
