Simple, versatile, universal abstractions for the console, and bringing performance improvements to the table by minimizing as many console calls as possible.
PM> Package-Install Console.Abstractions -pre
It can be used in production but i'm labeling it as pre so it's apparent that some testing needs to be done, as the API for things might change around a bit. Feel free to submit issues about API changes you want or things you don't like!
Why would you need such a thing? Doesn't the system console work well enough?
- The System.Console is very slow, calling the kernel for every single call.
- Writing efficient console drawing code is a total pain.
- The System.Console is not very abstracted, and it's difficult to work with it nicely.
Take a look at this routine implemented purely with the console:
Now look at the exact same routine, but just using Helpers.CacheEnMasse(new SystemConsle()):
