Detailed Description

The core functionality of the Consolix framework.

The Core group includes fundamental classes and utilities for managing the application lifecycle, global services, and component interaction.

Main Components:

• ServiceLocator: A mechanism for registering and accessing global services.
• AppComponentManager: A manager for handling application components.
• ConsoleApplication: A singleton for managing the console application. It includes AppComponentManager.
• Utilities: Functions to simplify working with applications and services.

Key Features:

• Management of service registration and access.
• Lifecycle support for components (initialization, execution, shutdown).
• Utilities for quick application setup.

Header Files:

• core/ServiceLocator.hpp
• core/service_utils.hpp
• core/AppComponentManager.hpp
• core/ConsoleApplication.hpp
• core/application_utils.hpp

Example Usage:

#define CONSOLIX_USE_LOGIT 1
#include <consolix/core.hpp>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    // Initialize the logger. This must be the first component.
    consolix::add<consolix::LoggerComponent>();
 
    // Add a logo component to display the application logo at startup.
    consolix::add<consolix::LogoComponent>(consolix::TextColor::DarkYellow);
 
    // Register a service.
    consolix::register_service<std::string>([]() {
        return std::make_shared<std::string>("Hello, Consolix!");
    });
 
    // Check and retrieve the service.
    if (consolix::has_service<std::string>()) {
        auto& message = consolix::get_service<std::string>();
        std::cout << message << std::endl;
    }
 
    // Initialize application components and start the main loop.
    consolix::run([]() {
        CONSOLIX_STREAM() <<
            consolix::color(consolix::TextColor::Green) << "Running in loop";
    });
}
