capp 2.1.0

This tool is perfect for creating console apps, offering widgets for Console elements, input handling, Help generation, argument events, and option configuration

2.1.0

• writeHelpModern now groups namespaced sub-commands: a controller named namespace:subcommand (e.g. test:subtest, called exactly as test:subtest -i=5) is displayed nested under its namespace header instead of being listed as an unrelated top-level command. The command name and its description are now printed on the same line (name in bold green, description in yellow) instead of on two separate lines.
• Added example/example_app.dart entries (test:subtest, test:report) demonstrating namespaced sub-commands.
• Added CappConsole.writeAlert to print a message as a boxed, colored alert (info/success/warning/error) with a severity icon, wrapping long messages to fit the terminal width.
• Added example/example.dart "Alert" option and tests demonstrating writeAlert.

2.0.0

• #3 Added command chaining: pass --and between commands (e.g. test -p hello --and help --and exit) to run several commands, one after another, in a single invocation. Works for the initial CLI arguments as well as for lines typed at the interactive prompt (both line mode and raw mode). Before each next command runs, a Next command: ... message is printed. --and is only used as a separator, it's never forwarded to controllers/options and never appears in the generated help.
• Added example/example_chain.dart demonstrating the new command chaining feature.
• Added a GitHub Actions workflow to run the test suite on every push/PR.
• Greatly expanded the test suite: unit tests for CappManager, CappConsole, and CappOption, plus integration tests that spawn the example apps to verify one-shot argument processing, interactive stdin sessions, and command chaining end-to-end.

1.1.8

• Added command history tracking to CappManager, allowing navigation through previously entered commands using arrow keys
• Added onKeyPress callback to CappManager for handling raw mode key events, enabling custom key bindings
• Added dynamic appLabel parameter to processWhile (replaces deprecated promptLabel), allowing prompt labels that update on each iteration (e.g., showing current time)
• Added removeCommandBar and addToCommandBar static methods to CappConsole for manipulating the command bar text in raw mode
• Added eventListen method to CappConsole for stdin event listening
• Updated example_app.dart to demonstrate command history navigation and dynamic prompt labels

1.1.7

• Added resetValue method to CappOption to reset the option's value to its default value and set existsInArgs to false. This allows for easier reuse of options across multiple command executions without retaining previous values, ensuring that each command starts with a clean slate for its options. The resetValue method is called in the CappManager before processing each command to ensure that options are reset before being populated with new values from the command arguments.

1.1.6

• Added onSelect callback to CappOption to allow executing a function when an option is selected, even if it doesn't have a command associated with it. This is useful for options that are meant to trigger an action without requiring additional input, such as displaying help or toggling a setting.

1.1.4

• Added _readKey method to handle key inputs
• Supported arguments with = in the _findOptionValue method, allowing options to be passed as --option=value or -o=value
• Added writeHelpModern method to display help in a more modern and colorful way using ANSI escape codes
• Supported breaking the loop in processWhile by pressing the 'q' key, allowing users to exit the command processing loop gracefully while still receiving new commands

1.1.2

• Added processWhile to keep the app running while receiving new commands, check example_app.dart
