# FsSpectre

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/4nb6f3882i39um3v?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/galassie/fs-spectre)

[Spectre.Console](https://spectreconsole.net/) with F# style.

FsSpectre is a small library that extends Spectre.Console and allow to write beautiful console applications in a declarative and more F#-friendly way.
It leverages [Computation Expressions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/computation-expressions) to create the widgets in a declarative style.

## Add package

If you want to add this package to your project, execute the following command:

``` shell
dotnet add package FsSpectre
```

## Build on your machine

If you want to build this library on your machine, execute the following commands:

``` shell
git clone [email protected]:galassie/fs-spectre.git
cd fs-spectre
dotnet build
```

## Examples

### Table

With C# + Spectre.Console:
```csharp
var table = new Table();
table.AddColumn("Foo");
table.AddColumn(new TableColumn("Bar").Centered());
table.AddRow("Baz", "[green]Qux[/]");
table.AddRow(new Markup("[blue]Corgi[/]"), new Panel("Waldo"));
AnsiConsole.Write(table);
```

With F# + FsSpectre:
```fsharp
table {
column_text ""
column (tableColumn { header_text "Feature"; centerd })
row_text [| "Baz"; "[green]Qux[/]" |]
row [| markup { text "[blue]Corgi[/]" }; panel { content_text "Waldo" } |]
} |> AnsiConsole.Write
```

### Bar Chart

With C# + Spectre.Console:
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Write(new BarChart()
.Width(60)
.Label("[green bold underline]Number of fruits[/]")
.CenterLabel()
.AddItem("Apple", 12, Color.Yellow)
.AddItem("Orange", 54, Color.Green)
.AddItem("Banana", 33, Color.Red));
```

With F# + FsSpectre:
```fsharp
barChart {
width 60
label "[green bold underline]Number of fruits[/]"
centered_label
item ("Apple", 12, Color.Yellow)
item ("Oranges", 54, Color.Green)
item ("Bananas", 33, Color.Red)
} |> AnsiConsole.Write
```

### Live Display

With C# + Spectre.Console:
```csharp
var table = new Table().Centered();

AnsiConsole.Live(table)
.Start(ctx =>
{
table.AddColumn("Foo");
ctx.Refresh();
Thread.Sleep(1000);

table.AddColumn("Bar");
ctx.Refresh();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
});
```

With F# + FsSpectre:
```fsharp
let liveDisplayTable = table { centered }

liveDisplay {
target liveDisplayTable

start (fun ctx ->
liveDisplayTable.AddColumn("Foo") |> ignore
ctx.Refresh()
Thread.Sleep(1000)

liveDisplayTable.AddColumn("Bar") |> ignore
ctx.Refresh()
Thread.Sleep(1000))
}
```

and for the Async version:
```fsharp
let liveDisplayAsyncTable = table { title_text "Async Table" }

liveDisplayAsync {
target liveDisplayAsyncTable

start (fun ctx -> task {
liveDisplayAsyncTable.AddColumn("Foo") |> ignore
ctx.Refresh()
do! Task.Delay(1000)

liveDisplayAsyncTable.AddColumn("Bar") |> ignore
ctx.Refresh()
do! Task.Delay(1000)
})
}
```

### Progress

With C# + Spectre.Console:
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Progress()
.Start(ctx =>
{
var task1 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Reticulating splines[/]");
var task2 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Folding space[/]");

while(!ctx.IsFinished)
{
Thread.Sleep(250);
task1.Increment(1.5);
task2.Increment(0.5);
}
});
```

With F# + FsSpectre:
```fsharp
progress {
start (fun ctx ->
let task1 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Reticulating splines[/]")
let task2 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Folding space[/]")

while not ctx.IsFinished do
Thread.Sleep(250)
task1.Increment(1.5)
task2.Increment(0.5))
}
```

and for the Async version:
```fsharp
progressAsync {
start (fun ctx -> task{
let task1 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Reticulating splines[/]")
let task2 = ctx.AddTask("[green]Folding space[/]")

while not ctx.IsFinished do
do! Task.Delay(250)
task1.Increment(1.5)
task2.Increment(0.5)
})
}
```

### Status

With C# + Spectre.Console:
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Status()
.Spinner(Spinner.Known.Arrow)
.SpinnerStyle(Style.Parse("blue"))
.Start("Thinking...", ctx =>
{
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some work...");
Thread.Sleep(1000);

ctx.Status("Thinking some more");
ctx.Spinner(Spinner.Known.Star);
ctx.SpinnerStyle(Style.Parse("green"));

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some more work...");
Thread.Sleep(2000);
});
```

With F# + FsSpectre:
```fsharp
status {
spinner Spinner.Known.Arrow
spinner_style (Style.Parse("blue"))

status "Thinking..."
start (fun ctx ->
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some work...")
Thread.Sleep(1000)

ctx.Status <- "Thinking some more"
ctx.Spinner <- Spinner.Known.Star
ctx.SpinnerStyle <- Style.Parse("green")

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some more work...")
Thread.Sleep(2000))
}
```

and for the Async version:
```fsharp
statusAsync {
spinner Spinner.Known.Arrow
spinner_style (Style.Parse("blue"))

status "Thinking..."
start (fun ctx -> task {
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some work...")
do! Task.Delay(1000)

ctx.Status <- "Thinking some more"
ctx.Spinner <- Spinner.Known.Star
ctx.SpinnerStyle <- Style.Parse("green")

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some more work...")
do! Task.Delay(2000)
})
}
```

## Showcase

To see an example, execute the `Showcase.fsx` with the following command (you need to build the library first):

``` shell
dotnet fsi Showcase.fsx
```
