I've been refactoring some of my libraries in addition to rewriting them in Teal, and this ones dependency, lgetchar, has gone through a (much needed) rewrite, but is now completely incompatible. Additionally, this module uses a class model that the current type system in Teal doesn't play well with, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
but if you use the non --dev version of lgetchar this may work fine, but just know in the future there will probably be a rewrite
A simple library for creating command line menus, inspired by inquirer.js.
- >= Lua 5.1
- lgetchar*
* This uses my lgetchar library, (which is cobbled together and as it says on its own repo I have no idea how portable it is) to allow for arrow keys and such to be recognized
Create a menu object, add options to it with callbacks, then call the menu
local lmenu = require "lmenu"
local m = lmenu.list()
m:setSelector("->")
m:add("This is an option")
m:add("Option 2")
m:add(":)")
m()Or for convenience, each function will return the menu object so you can chain them together like so:
local m = lmenu.list()
:setSelector("->")
:add("This is an option")
:add("Option 2")
:add(":)")
()Which should produce the following menu, controlled by the arrow keys (or j and k for vim users) and enter
->This is an option
Option 2
:)
