cpp-linenoise
=============
Multi-platfrom (Unix, Windows) C++ header-only linenoise-based readline library.
This library gathered code from following excellent libraries, clean it up, and put it into a C++ header file for convenience.
* `linenoise.h` and `linenose.c` ([antirez/linenoise](https://github.com/antirez/linenoise))
* `ANSI.c` ([adoxa/ansicon](https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon))
* `Win32_ANSI.h` and `Win32_ANSI.c` ([MSOpenTech/redis](https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis))
The licenses for the libraries are included in `linenoise.hpp`.
Usage
-----
```c++
#include "linenoise.hpp"
...
const auto path = "history.txt";
// Setup completion words every time when a user types
linenoise::SetCompletionCallback([](const char* editBuffer, std::vector<std::string>& completions) {
if (editBuffer[0] == 'h') {
completions.push_back("hello");
completions.push_back("hello there");
}
});
// Enable the multi-line mode
linenoise::SetMultiLine(true);
// Set max length of the history
linenoise::SetHistoryMaxLen(4);
// Load history
linenoise::LoadHistory(path);
while (true) {
// Read line
std::string line;
auto quit = linenoise::Readline("hello> ", line);
if (quit) {
break;
}
cout << "echo: '" << line << "'" << endl;
// Add text to history
linenoise::AddHistory(line.c_str());
}
// Save history
linenoise::SaveHistory(path);
```
API
---
```c++
namespace linenoise;
std::string Readline(const char* prompt);
void SetMultiLine(bool multiLineMode);
typedef std::function<void (const char* editBuffer, std::vector<std::string>& completions)> CompletionCallback;
void SetCompletionCallback(CompletionCallback fn);
bool SetHistoryMaxLen(size_t len);
bool LoadHistory(const char* path);
bool SaveHistory(const char* path);
bool AddHistory(const char* line);
const std::vector<std::string>& GetHistory();
```
