Hard wrap STDOUT past 100-120 columns

[kodumbeats]

As an example, appwrite help produces a list of services. Zero of these lines are under 80 columns, ["storage", "users"] are the only under 100 (the current linux kernel standard), and the longest line teams is 149 columns.

Just a style preference, but it's a pain point to resize my terminal every time I use the CLI.

@kodumbeats thank you for raising this. I was just working on this today.

Do you have any suggestions to tackle this?

My first thoughts after perusing these scripts:

• the code loops through printf with some padding in the front. Could first run the output string through wordwrap(), and then fiddle with the padding right before writing to STDOUT.
• Might be worth a refactor to check all output just for consistency. Maybe Manipulators.php is the right place to check wrapping.

I'll experiment with wordwrap() and let you know. I was thinking of moving this logic of calculating the padding etc to Parser.php since Manipulators.php is specific to the jc21 table library that we are using.

Parser.php was intended to abstract all the logic for printing / formatting etc.

[kodumbeats]

Aha, Parser.php looks like a better place. :) Most of the necessary abstraction logic is already in parseResponse it seems.
