A better way to style the output of console commands

Link –

When creating output from a Symfony based console command you might have created a title using code like this:

$output->writeln('');
$output->writeln('<info>Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet</>');
$output->writeln('<info>==========================</>');
$output->writeln('');

Starting from Symfony 2.7 there's a nice way to style the output of console commands. This code produces the same output as the example above

$io = new SymfonyStyle($input, $output)
$io->title('Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet');

There are styles for titles, sections, questions, tables, and so on. Take a look at the documention to learn what's possible.
