Spinner Selector

Spin, spin, spin!

Terminaux provides a selector that allows you to choose a spinner in an interactive way with live previews, powered by the textual UI feature. This feature can be found in the SpinnerSelector class found in the Terminaux.Inputs.Styles namespace, and you can run it with the following functions:

• PromptForSpinner()

• PromptForSpinner(string spinner)

The first overload automatically falls back to the Dots built-in spinner, while the second overload allows you to specify the name of a built-in spinner. You can get a list of built-in spinner names defined in the BuiltinSpinners class.

You can't use custom spinners, as they are not considered to be built-in.

Once the user end submitted their selection, the two functions will return a Spinner instance obtained from the built-in spinner instance list, which can be rendered immediately using a function described here.

The below keybindings can be used to control the selector:
