A simple and fast way to take user input and display output in text mode using PHP.

Intro

[](#intro)

Text UI is a development library that provides classes for text-based input and output.

It has two main categories of classes: `TextUI\Input` for user input, and `TextUI\Output` for displaying output to the user.

Usage is quite simple:

```
$widget = new new TextUI\Input\TextEntry('Enter de text: ');
echo "You entered '{$widget->read()}'".PHP_EOL;
```

Installation
