DeadWisdom/richmenu

A menu component for command line interfaces based on the Rich python library.

This is done with the following code:

from rich.console import Console
from richmenu import Menu

console = Console()

selection = Menu.prompt(
    "[bold]Would you rather:[/bold]",
    items={
        "invisibility": "Be able to turn invisible",
        "fly": "Be able to fly",
        "read-minds": "Be able to read people's minds",
        "quit": "None of this nonsense",
    },
)

if selection is None or selection is "quit":
    console.print("[bold]:sparkles: quit[/bold]")
else:
    console.print(f"You have selected: [bold]{selection}[/bold]")

• Easily display a menu to the user
• Pressing up and down on the arrow keys changes the current item
• Pressing enter selects the current item, highlights it, and continues the interpreter
• Pressing esc exits the menu
• Typing letters filters the items for only items that match the given text
• Filters are matched using a search module thefuzz to mitigate typos

Tested on mac os, linux, and windows

Note: I couldn't figure out an easy way to automate tests with key inputs, so I just do it manually for now.

I have as yet only tested Python 3.7, if you need something else please open up a github issue.
