###Dart Console Library for Windows
dxConsole implements both Forms & Commandline modes. Forms mode is especially useful for configuration & administration tasks, very similar to BIOS setup screens.
This library was initially created to support [Dart]: http://dartlang.org projects requiring native ANSI escape sequences for Windows console programs. It is not intended to be a framework, but continues to grow based on other project requirements. If you would like to see addtional functionality, feel free to post an enhancement/change request.
####CHANGES YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE RUNNING
I packaged the 64bit version as the default. Just add the Github reference below to your pubspec.yaml:<br > dxConsole:<br > git: https://github.com/osstekz/dxConsole
For Dart.exe(32bit) projects: Due to Dart implementing a hardcoded filename scheme for importing native extension dlls, the following manual install is required.
- Download zip file and extract to a local drive/path.
- Copy the appropriate bin\dxConsole_win32.dll to bin\dxConsole.dll.
- Add a path reference to local drive/path in your pubspec.yaml. Example:<br > dxConsole:<br > path: local drive/path/dxConsole
###HOW TO RUN dart.exe --checked example\dxConsoledemo_main.dart
####DEVELOPMENT Development and testing for both 32/64bit OS versions uses the latest Dev Channel SDK.
Contributions to this are absolutely welcome! Feel free to file issues, send pull requests, etc.
