# hwylterm todo's

- [x] add cligen adapters to add colors with bbansi
  - [ ] add integration test check cligen
- [x] add generic help generator to accompany parseopt

## improvements


- [ ] addJoinStyle(); works like join except wraps each argument in a style
- [ ] consider reducing illwill surface to only relevant IO (input) features
- [ ] revamp spinner api (new  threads?)
- [x] add Bbstring ~~indexing operations~~ strutils, that are span aware
- [ ] add a `commands` option for `newHwylCli` in `hwylterm/cli`
- [ ] console object with customizable options to apply formatting

### cli generato

- [ ] add support for types(metavars)/defaults/required in help output
- [ ] add support for enum (parse string)
- [ ] add support for a count flag
- [ ] abstract the `globalFlags` argument to a `flagGroups` section with a builtin `global`
      this would allow users to "inherit" flag groups in subcommands
      ```nim
      flags:
        # global flag group auto propagated down
        --- global
        config "path to config"
        --- shared
        shared:
          `a-flag` "some shared flag"
      -- sub
      flags:
        ^shared
        unique "some unique flag"
      ```
