A simple trait to create a fixed-size Artisan console window.

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

[](#installation)

You can just copy the trait to your own project or install the package via composer:

```
composer require rubenvanerk/artisan-window
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your console command, add the `HasWindows` trait. Next, you can call the `window` function. It takes three arguments:

- The title of the window
- The max number of lines
- A function

In the function you can output anything you'd like. If the output doesn't fit, it will scroll out of the window.

```
class Example extends Command
{
    use \RubenVanErk\ArtisanWindow\Traits\HasWindows;

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->window('Never Gonna Give You Up', 5, function () {
            // ...
            $this->info('Never gonna give you up');
            $this->info('Never gonna let you down');
            $this->info('Never gonna run around and desert you');
            $this->info('Never gonna make you cry');
            $this->info('Never gonna say goodbye');
            $this->info('Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you');
            // ...
        })
    }
}
```

This wil produce something like this:
