A javafx library that can be used to build a "pretty console".
This javafx project contains a css-styleable Console class.
Both the console itself, and any appended text can be styled using css.
This sample demonstrates how to create and initialize a console that has no styles applied, no prefix, and which simply echoes any input given to it.
class Sample extends Application {
public void start(Stage stage) {
Console console = new Console();
console.setCallback(s -> {
console.println("read: " + s + "\n");
});
stage.setScene(new Scene(console, 895, 515));
stage.show();
}
}
This sample demonstrates how to apply a stylesheet to a console and how to set the console's optional prefix property.
...
String path = getClass().getResource("stylesheet.css").toExternalForm();
console.getStylesheets().add(path);
StyleText prefix = new StyleTextBuilder()
.append("wne@MSI", "green")
.whitespace()
.append("MINGW64", "purple")
.whitespace()
.append("~", "green")
.ln()
.append("$", "text")
.build()
console.setPrefix(prefix);
Each individual StyleTextSegment consists of some text and a Collection of style classes
to be applied to said text.
Each style class that is referenced from a StyleTextSegment has to be defined in an external stylesheet.
...
console.ready();
Unlocks (if currently locked) the Console and appends its optional prefix.
