Introducing Prompts Extras

[henzeb]

Prompts Extras, a package that offers additional functionalities that expand upon Laravel's Prompt. While these features may not be universally desired, they could prove valuable for specific use cases.

Right now, it only has watch, which works similar to watch found on Linux/Unix systems.

use function Henzeb\Prompts\watch;
use function Laravel\Prompts\table;

watch(
    render: function (){
        table(
            ['current date'],
            [
                [(new Datetime())->format(DateTime::RFC850)]
            ]
        );
    },
    interval: 1 // default interval is 2
);

If you have a feature idea, that doesn't fit into Laravel Prompts, but still think it might be useful to some, let's add that one here.

Just wanted to announce an update: With Prompts Extras, output with Prompts is isolated within commands, and validation is done using Laravel's own validation mechanism.

In addition, Prompts Extras allows validation to be done automatically on all your options and arguments. I know Laravel has something built in, but I believe this is way nicer and better grouped together. And it allows the same behavior in non-laravel projects.

@henzeb I have used Laravel prompts in my project https://github.com/oitcode/samarium . Hopefully someday can use this.
