Features

I will be gradually developing and supplementing this library.

Interactivity Features (Button Array)

It provides a simple async/await method to display multiple buttons, and to see what button the user has selected in the console.

If needed, you can customize the ButtonArray types that are added to the LINQPad.Controls namespace.

Here is an example of the code:

using LINQPad.Controls;

switch (await Dialog.YesNo<string>("Are you happy now?", "yes", "no"))
{
	case "yes":
		"Answer: Yes".Dump();
		break;
	case "no":
		"Answer: No".Dump();
		break;
	default:
		"Answer: ?".Dump();
		break;
}

Interactivity Features (Prompt)

Draw a UI that allows you to type whatever you want into the text box. Unlike Console.In.ReadLine methods, this feature shows a text box and OK and Cancel buttons on the screen.

Here is an example of the code:

using LINQPad.Controls;

var answer = await OkCancelPrompt("What's your name?");

if (answer == default) $"You didn't enter a name.".Dump();
else $"Your name is: {answer}.".Dump();
