Russkyc.AttachedUtilities.FileStreamExtensions

Console attached method utilities for .NET Standard, .NET Core, and .NET Framework.

Setup

// Dependency Import
using Russkyc.AttachedUtilities.ConsoleExtensions;

RichOutput - Using .ToRichOutput() is required to use the Input and Output Utilities


// Use 'ToRichOutput()' before any extension
var message = "What's your name? ".ToRichOutput();

// You can now use any extension from this library
message.GetString();


Console Input Utilities

Get - Single Value Input.

  • .GetChar() - Returns char input.
  • .GetString() - Returns string input.
  • .GetInt() - Returns int input.
  • .GetDouble() - Returns double input.
  • .GetFloat() - Returns float input.
  • .GetBool() - Returns bool input.

GetCollection - Multi Value separated Input.

  • .GetCharCollection() - Returns List<char> from comma or space separated input.
  • .GetStringCollection() - Returns List<string> from comma or space separated input.
  • .GetIntCollection() - Returns List<int> from comma or space separated input.
  • .GetDoubleCollection() - Returns List<double> from comma or space separated input.
  • .GetFloatCollection() - Returns List<float> from comma or space separated input.
  • .GetBoolCollection() - Returns List<bool> from comma or space separated input.

Console Output Utilities

Get Usage:

// Message Prompt
var prompt = "enter input: ".ToRichOutput();

// Reads char input
// Sample input: C
char letter = prompt.GetChar();

// Reads String input
// Sample input: Hello
string word = prompt.GetString();

// Reads Whole Number input
// Sample input: 23
int number = prompt.GetInt();

// Reads Decimal Input
// Sample input: 10.99
double price = prompt.GetDouble();
float price = prompt.GetFloat();

// Reads Boolean Input (Ignores Case)
// Sample input: Y or N, Yes or No, T or F, True or False, 1 or 0
bool answer = prompt.GetBool();

Get Collection Usage:

// Message Prompt
var prompt = "enter input: ".ToRichOutput();

// Reads input to char (Includes spaces and commas)
// Sample input: RUn?NR or C*_20
List<char> letters = prompt.GetCharCollection();

// Reads String input
// Sample input: Hello there or Hi, there
List<string> words = prompt.GetStringCollection();

// Reads Whole Number input
// Sample input: 23, 33, 41, 52 or 12 52 23 32
List<int> numbers = prompt.GetIntCollection();

// Reads Decimal Input
// Sample input: 10.99, 1.00, 9.99, or 2.93 10.20 23.30
List<double> prices = prompt.GetDoubleCollection();
List<float> prices = prompt.GetFloatCollection();

// Reads Boolean Input (Ignores Case)
// Sample input: Y,Y,N,N or true false false true
List<bool> answers = prompt.GetBoolCollection();

Console Output Utilities

Formatting - Formats console output. Can be used continuously in a builder pattern

  • .SetForeground() - Sets the console output text color.
  • .SetBackground() - Sets the console output background color.
  • .SetMode() - Sets the output mode to Console(Default) or Debug.

Output - Writes output to the console.

  • .Write() - Works like Console.Write().
  • .WriteLine() - Works like Console.WriteLine.
  • .WriteAll() - Works like Console.Write() but prints a List<T> or T[] with custom delimiters

Console Output Utilities

Formatting Usage:

// Message Prompt
var message = "Hello Worls".ToRichOutput();

// Sets Foreground for this output
message.SetForeground(Foreground.Green);

// Sets Background for this output
message.SetBackground(Background.Red);

// Sets Output Mode for this output
message.SetMode(OutputMode.Console);

// Can be used in a builder pattern
message.SetForeground(Foreground.Green)
       .SetBackGround(Background.Blue)
       .SetMode(Output.Debug);

Output Usage:

// Message Prompt
var message = "Hello World".ToRichOutput();

// Message Collection
List<string> fruits = new List<string>
{
    "apple",
    "banana",
    "cherry",
    "date",
    "elderberry"
};

// Writes
message.Write();

// Writes a new line
message.WriteLine();

// Writes collection content on a line delimited by commas
fruits.WriteAll(", ");

// Can be used after the Formatters
message.SetForeground(Foreground.White)
       .SetBackground(Background.Blue)
       .WriteLine();
