Header only C++ Text Menu Implementation These classes should help you make easy text menus for your programs
Here is an simple example to show you how to use text menu:
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "Window.h"
int main() {
std::string mqtt_host = "localhost";
size_t mqtt_port = 1883;
auto w1 = make_window("Main Menu", "",
Option([](VirtualMenu *menu) { menu->switch_window(1); }, "MQTT Settings"),
Option([](VirtualMenu *) { exit(0); }, "Exit")
);
auto w2 = make_window("MQTT Settings", "",
Option([&](VirtualMenu *) {
std::cout << "Type new hostname\n";
std::cin >> mqtt_host;
std::cout << "New host is " << mqtt_host << '\n';
}, "Set Hostname"),
Option([&](VirtualMenu *) {
std::cout << "Type new port\n";
std::cin >> mqtt_port;
std::cout << "New host is " << mqtt_port << '\n';
}, "Set Port"),
Option([&](VirtualMenu *) {
std::cout << "Hostname: " << mqtt_host << '\n' << "Port: " << mqtt_port << '\n';
}, "Print Settings"),
Option([](VirtualMenu *menu) { menu->switch_window(0); }, "Return")
);
auto menu = make_menu(w1, w2);
while (true) {
menu.print();
size_t x;
std::cin >> x;
x--;
menu.handle(x);
std::cout << "\n";
}
}This would produce the following output:

- Make abstraction for printing so it works on other devices (think arduino etc)
