UI/Them Examples #

Set Theme #

ui.set_theme "neon"  # Available: default, dark, light, neon, retro

Interactive Components #

# Menu
choice=$(ui.themed_menu "Select option" "Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3")

# Confirmation
if ui.themed_confirm "Continue?" "y"; then
    ui.success "User agreed!"
fi

# Input
name=$(ui.themed_prompt "Enter your name" "Default")

# Progress bar
for i in {1..100}; do
    ui.themed_progress_bar $i 100 50 "Processing"
    sleep 0.1
done

Display Components #

ui.header "Application Title" 60 "primary"
ui.box "Important message" 50 "warning"
ui.separator "─" 60 "accent"
ui.footer "End of section" 60 "secondary"

Testing Framework #

Write Tests #

#!/usr/bin/bash
source lib.sh
import testing

describe "Math Operations"

it "should add numbers correctly"
assert_equals "5" "$(math.basic.add 2 3)" "2 + 3 should equal 5"

it "should handle division by zero"
assert_false "math.basic.divide 5 0" "Division by zero should fail"

it "should validate input"
assert_true "string.is_numeric 123" "123 should be numeric"

Run Tests #

# Run single test file
bash lib.sh test test_math.sh

# Run all tests
bash lib.sh test

Compilation #

Compile to Executable #

# Basic compilation
bash lib.sh compile myscript.sh myscript.exec

# Optimized compilation
bash lib.sh compile myscript.sh myscript.opt 1

Create Package #

bash lib.sh package myapp 1.0.0 src/main.sh

Development Tools #

Debugging #

#!/usr/bin/bash
source lib.sh
import devtools

enable_debug 2 "debug.log"

breakpoint "some_condition" "Debug point reached"

debug_log 1 "Information message"
debug_log 2 "Detailed debug information"

Code Analysis #

# Analyze code
bash lib.sh analyze myscript.sh

# Lint code
