RedAnt Console
==============

[](#redant-console)

Menu select helper for Symfony Console
--------------------------------------

[](#menu-select-helper-for-symfony-console)

This menu helper is a bridge for PHPSchool's [CliMenu](https://github.com/php-school/cli-menu) library, so that it can easily be used inside the Symfony Console.

It provides an interactive menu that you can navigate using the arrow and enter keys.

Only compatible with UNIX tty-style terminals.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install through `composer require redant/console`.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Register the helper in your HelperSet:

```
use RedAnt\Console\Helper\SelectHelper;

// Further on in your code ...
$this->getHelperSet()->set(new SelectHelper(), 'select');
```

Then you can start using the helper like this:

```
$helper = $this->getHelper('select');
$value = $helper->select(
    $input,
    'What is your favorite food?',
    [
        'hamburger' => 'Hamburger',
        'pizza'     => 'Pizza',
        'sushi'     => 'Sushi',
        'poke'      => 'Poké bowl'
    ]
);

// $value = 'poke' when the fourth option was chosen
// $value = null when the user canceled
```
