README
Termwind
This is a clone of the original Termwind package written and maintained by Nuno Maduro. This package ONLY supports ZenPHP applications.
Termwind allows you to build unique and beautiful PHP command-line applications, using the Tailwind CSS API. In short, it's like Tailwind CSS, but for the PHP command-line applications.
Installation
Requires PHP 8.3+
Require Termwind using Composer:
composer require zenphp/termwind
Usage
use function Zen\Termwind\{render};
// single line html...
render('<div class="px-1 bg-green-300">Termwind</div>');
// multi-line html...
render(<<<'HTML'
<div>
<div class="px-1 bg-green-600">Termwind</div>
<em class="ml-1">
Give your CLI apps a unique look
</em>
</div>
HTML);
// Zen console commands...
class UsersCommand extends Command
{
public function handle()
{
render(
view('users.index', [
'users' => User::all()
])
);
}
}
style()
The style() function may be used to add own custom styles and also update colors.
use function Zen\Termwind\{style};
style('green-300')->color('#bada55');
style('btn')->apply('p-4 bg-green-300 text-white');
render('<div class="btn">Click me</div>');
ask()
The ask() function may be used to prompt the user with a question.
use function Zen\Termwind\{ask};
$answer = ask(<<<HTML
<span class="mt-1 ml-2 mr-1 bg-green px-1 text-black">
What is your name?
</span>
HTML);
The return provided from the ask method will be the answer provided from the user.

The terminal() function returns an instance of the Terminal class, with the following methods:
->width(): Returns the full width of the terminal.->height(): Returns the full height of the terminal.->clear(): It clears the terminal screen.
