Introducing Konsole: A Kotlin-idiomatic library for writing dynamic command line applications

• kotter

  14 526 8.2 Kotlin

  A declarative, Kotlin-idiomatic API for writing dynamic console applications.

  

Are you curious about what the Compose API might look like if it didn't need to support features that required it to be a compiler plugin? If so, check out Konsole! But first, a bit of background:

• mosaic

  21 1,773 9.1 Kotlin

  An experimental tool for building console UI in Kotlin using the Jetpack Compose compiler/runtime (by JakeWharton)

Then there is Mosaic, a terminal UI library using Compose, and now we're getting somewhere! A library that takes advantage of Kotlin features was right up my alley. But after trying it out, it feels like it's not 100% there yet, and furthermore it turns out that relying on Compose limits it to being tied to rather recent (and sometimes specific) versions of the Kotlin compiler.

• Jansi

  4 1,085 6.7 Java

  Jansi is a small java library that allows you to use ANSI escape sequences to format your console output which works even on windows.

  

There is Jansi, but code like System.out.println(ansi().eraseScreen().fg(RED).a("Hello").fg(GREEN).a(" World").reset()); looked error prone and didn't look fun to write.
