[![demo](.vhs/cli-page.gif)](.vhs/cli-page.gif)

```
composer require sugarcraft/candy-kit
```

PHP port of [charmbracelet/fang](https://github.com/charmbracelet/fang) — opinionated **CLI presentation helpers** that turn ordinary command- line output into something that matches the rest of the SugarCraft stack. CandyKit is library-only — drop it into any Composer project, no Symfony Console requirement.

```
use SugarCraft\Kit\StatusLine;
use SugarCraft\Kit\Banner;
use SugarCraft\Kit\Theme;

echo Banner::title('CandyApp', 'v0.1.0'), "\n\n";
echo StatusLine::info('connecting to https://example.com'), "\n";
echo StatusLine::success('done in 0.4s'), "\n";
echo StatusLine::warn('disk almost full'), "\n";
echo StatusLine::error('connection refused'), "\n";
```

Components
----------

[](#components)

- **`Theme`** — palette of `Sprinkles\Style` objects keyed by status level (success / error / warn / info / prompt / accent / muted). `Theme::ansi()` ships a sensible default; bring your own theme by passing styles to the constructor.
- **`StatusLine`** — `success` / `error` / `warn` / `info` static helpers returning a glyph + message string styled per the active theme.
- **`Banner`** — render a bordered title block with optional subtitle, rounded by default. Useful for app intros / `--version` output.
- **`Logo`** — ASCII-art logo renderer with `Logo::sugarcraft()` built-in preset and `Logo::fromAscii($art)` for custom art. Chain `->withColor($hex)` to apply foreground color.
- **`Section`** — styled section with title and body content, themeable.
- **`Stage`** — multi-section presentation container.
- **`HelpText`** — formatted help output.
- **`Frame`** — full-screen application chrome: a double-line box that fills the terminal exactly (`Frame::new()->withTitle($bar) ->withStatus($bar)->render($body, $cols, $rows)`), with a centred title bar, dividers, and a status bar. Normalises the body to a constant line count and pads ANSI-width-aware so it never overflows the terminal — safe for a TEA program whose frame-diff renderer owns the screen.

```

Snapshot tests
--------------

[](#snapshot-tests)

Presenter output is pinned via `candy-testing`'s `assertGoldenAnsi` golden-file snapshots. Any change to the ANSI slide output must be intentional — re-record the fixture with `--update-golden` to accept a new canonical render.
