MinimalApplicationShell

MinimalApplicationShell is a C# library that provides a minimal Bash-like shell interface for console applications, complete with history and tab completion. It's designed to make it easy to add a command-line interface to your application without having to deal with the intricacies of console input parsing.

Features

  • Tab completion
  • Command history
  • Easy to use
  • No dependencies
  • Commands are defined with a simple dictionary of delegates

Installation

MinimalApplicationShell is available as a NuGet package. You can install it using the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package MinimalApplicationShell

Alternatively, you can download the source code and include it in your project.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use MinimalApplicationShell in your application:

using MinimalApplicationShell;

// Define your commands as a dictionary of delegates
var commands = new Dictionary<string, Action<string[]>>();
commands.Add("hello", (string[] args) => Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!"));

// Create a new instance of the shell and pass in your commands
var shell = new Shell(commands);

// Run the shell
shell.Run();

That's it! Now you have a minimal shell interface for your application.

Demo

A demo application is included in the MinimalApplicationShell.Demo project. It demonstrates how to define commands and use the shell in your application.
