Console
Console is a PHP CLI framework used for building interactive terminal applications. It functions as a command line interface development toolkit and orchestrator that manages the lifecycle of terminal commands, processes user input, and produces formatted text output.
The project includes a terminal capability detector to identify system color modes and window dimensions for creating responsive layouts. It provides a console output formatter for rendering styled text, bordered blocks, and progress bars, alongside a system for creating interactive terminal interfaces.
The framework covers command orchestration through service container integration and dependency injection. It also provides tools for user input management and a dedicated interface for command execution testing to verify output streams and results.
