Basic Usage

Creating, rendering, and using a menu in your symfony console command

<?php

// ...
use RoadBunch\CommandMenu\Menu;
use RoadBunch\CommandMenu\Option;

// ...

public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{      
    // create the menu
    $menu = new Menu($input, $output);
    
    // optional title
    $menu->title('Options');
    
    // add options
    $menu->addOption('add', 'Add User');
    $menu->addOption('delete', 'Delete User');
    $menu->addOption('quit', 'Quit');
    
    // render the menu
    $menu->render();
        
    // prompt the user to make a selection
    $selection = $menu->promptForSelection();
    
    // do work
}

Output

Options
-------

1 Add User
2 Delete User
3 Quit

Please make a selection:

If the user selects 1 then promptForSelection() will return "add", 2 will return "delete", and 3 will return "quit"
In the event a user selects something other than a given selector, promptForSelection() will return null
