Pseudographics interface for console window by .Net Core 3.1

Quick start

First

Prepare the Startup file. Its represents platform specific configuration that will be applied to a IAppBuilder when building an IApp. This class should be inherit from IStartup interface. Use ConfigureServices method for configure IoC of application. In runtime you can get specified instances like this:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
.
.
var service = Application.ServiceProvider.GetService<instance_type>();
.
.

Also you can override core implementations of any types like ISystemColors, IEventLoop, IPseudographicsProvider, IControlLifeCycle, IEnvironment and IApp. The Configure method allow set additional properties of added instances. For example, if you want to set OutputEncoding of IPseudographicsProvider but haven't own implemented, do like this:

provider.SetConfigure<IPseudographicsProvider>(configure =>
{
    configure.OutputEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("Utf-8");
});

Look at the Startup file example below

/// <inheritdoc cref="IStartup"/>
public class Startup : IStartup
{
    /// <inheritdoc cref="IStartup.ConfigureServices"/>
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // Optional
        // Called by the application to configure the app's services.
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="IStartup.Configure"/>
    public void Configure(IServiceProvider provider)
    {
        provider.SetConfigure<IPseudographicsProvider>(configure =>
        {
            configure.OutputEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("Utf-8");
        });
    }
}

Second

Prepare MainWindow class inherited from Window and implement your business logic using any exists or custom controls for making user interfaces

Third

Set your Program class like this:

internal class Program
{
    private static void Main(string[] args)
        => AppLoader.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .Build()
            .Start(new MainWindow());
}
