//! This is a library for controlling colours and formatting, such as //! red bold text or blue underlined text, on ANSI terminals. //! //! //! ## Basic usage //! //! There are three main types in this crate that you need to be //! concerned with: [`ANSIString`], [`Style`], and [`Colour`]. //! //! A `Style` holds stylistic information: foreground and background colours, //! whether the text should be bold, or blinking, or other properties. The //! [`Colour`] enum represents the available colours. And an [`ANSIString`] is a //! string paired with a [`Style`]. //! //! [`Color`] is also available as an alias to `Colour`. //! //! To format a string, call the `paint` method on a `Style` or a `Colour`, //! passing in the string you want to format as the argument. For example, //! here’s how to get some red text: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Red; //! //! println!("This is in red: {}", Red.paint("a red string")); //! ``` //! //! It’s important to note that the `paint` method does *not* actually return a //! string with the ANSI control characters surrounding it. Instead, it returns //! an [`ANSIString`] value that has a [`Display`] implementation that, when //! formatted, returns the characters. This allows strings to be printed with a //! minimum of [`String`] allocations being performed behind the scenes. //! //! If you *do* want to get at the escape codes, then you can convert the //! [`ANSIString`] to a string as you would any other `Display` value: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Red; //! //! let red_string = Red.paint("a red string").to_string(); //! ``` //! //! //! ## Bold, underline, background, and other styles //! //! For anything more complex than plain foreground colour changes, you need to //! construct `Style` values themselves, rather than beginning with a `Colour`. //! You can do this by chaining methods based on a new `Style`, created with //! [`Style::new()`]. Each method creates a new style that has that specific //! property set. For example: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Style; //! //! println!("How about some {} and {}?", //! Style::new().bold().paint("bold"), //! Style::new().underline().paint("underline")); //! ``` //! //! For brevity, these methods have also been implemented for `Colour` values, //! so you can give your styles a foreground colour without having to begin with //! an empty `Style` value: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::{Blue, Yellow}; //! //! println!("Demonstrating {} and {}!", //! Blue.bold().paint("blue bold"), //! Yellow.underline().paint("yellow underline")); //! //! println!("Yellow on blue: {}", Yellow.on(Blue).paint("wow!")); //! ``` //! //! The complete list of styles you can use are: [`bold`], [`dimmed`], [`italic`], //! [`underline`], [`blink`], [`reverse`], [`hidden`], [`strikethrough`], and [`on`] for //! background colours. //! //! In some cases, you may find it easier to change the foreground on an //! existing `Style` rather than starting from the appropriate `Colour`. //! You can do this using the [`fg`] method: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Style; //! use ansi_term::Colour::{Blue, Cyan, Yellow}; //! //! println!("Yellow on blue: {}", Style::new().on(Blue).fg(Yellow).paint("yow!")); //! println!("Also yellow on blue: {}", Cyan.on(Blue).fg(Yellow).paint("zow!")); //! ``` //! //! You can turn a `Colour` into a `Style` with the [`normal`] method. //! This will produce the exact same `ANSIString` as if you just used the //! `paint` method on the `Colour` directly, but it’s useful in certain cases: //! for example, you may have a method that returns `Styles`, and need to //! represent both the “red bold” and “red, but not bold” styles with values of //! the same type. The `Style` struct also has a [`Default`] implementation if you //! want to have a style with *nothing* set. //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Style; //! use ansi_term::Colour::Red; //! //! Red.normal().paint("yet another red string"); //! Style::default().paint("a completely regular string"); //! ``` //! //! //! ## Extended colours //! //! You can access the extended range of 256 colours by using the `Colour::Fixed` //! variant, which takes an argument of the colour number to use. This can be //! included wherever you would use a `Colour`: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Fixed; //! //! Fixed(134).paint("A sort of light purple"); //! Fixed(221).on(Fixed(124)).paint("Mustard in the ketchup"); //! ``` //! //! The first sixteen of these values are the same as the normal and bold //! standard colour variants. There’s nothing stopping you from using these as //! `Fixed` colours instead, but there’s nothing to be gained by doing so //! either. //! //! You can also access full 24-bit colour by using the `Colour::RGB` variant, //! which takes separate `u8` arguments for red, green, and blue: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::RGB; //! //! RGB(70, 130, 180).paint("Steel blue"); //! ``` //! //! ## Combining successive coloured strings //! //! The benefit of writing ANSI escape codes to the terminal is that they //! *stack*: you do not need to end every coloured string with a reset code if //! the text that follows it is of a similar style. For example, if you want to //! have some blue text followed by some blue bold text, it’s possible to send //! the ANSI code for blue, followed by the ANSI code for bold, and finishing //! with a reset code without having to have an extra one between the two //! strings. //! //! This crate can optimise the ANSI codes that get printed in situations like //! this, making life easier for your terminal renderer. The [`ANSIStrings`] //! type takes a slice of several [`ANSIString`] values, and will iterate over //! each of them, printing only the codes for the styles that need to be updated //! as part of its formatting routine. //! //! The following code snippet uses this to enclose a binary number displayed in //! red bold text inside some red, but not bold, brackets: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Red; //! use ansi_term::{ANSIString, ANSIStrings}; //! //! let some_value = format!("{:b}", 42); //! let strings: &[ANSIString<'static>] = &[ //! Red.paint("["), //! Red.bold().paint(some_value), //! Red.paint("]"), //! ]; //! //! println!("Value: {}", ANSIStrings(strings)); //! ``` //! //! There are several things to note here. Firstly, the [`paint`] method can take //! *either* an owned [`String`] or a borrowed [`&str`]. Internally, an [`ANSIString`] //! holds a copy-on-write ([`Cow`]) string value to deal with both owned and //! borrowed strings at the same time. This is used here to display a `String`, //! the result of the `format!` call, using the same mechanism as some //! statically-available `&str` slices. Secondly, that the [`ANSIStrings`] value //! works in the same way as its singular counterpart, with a [`Display`] //! implementation that only performs the formatting when required. //! //! ## Byte strings //! //! This library also supports formatting `\[u8]` byte strings; this supports //! applications working with text in an unknown encoding. [`Style`] and //! [`Colour`] support painting `\[u8]` values, resulting in an [`ANSIByteString`]. //! This type does not implement [`Display`], as it may not contain UTF-8, but //! it does provide a method [`write_to`] to write the result to any value that //! implements [`Write`]: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Green; //! //! Green.paint("user data".as_bytes()).write_to(&mut std::io::stdout()).unwrap(); //! ``` //! //! Similarly, the type [`ANSIByteStrings`] supports writing a list of //! [`ANSIByteString`] values with minimal escape sequences: //! //! ``` //! use ansi_term::Colour::Green; //! use ansi_term::ANSIByteStrings; //! //! ANSIByteStrings(&[ //! Green.paint("user data 1\n".as_bytes()), //! Green.bold().paint("user data 2\n".as_bytes()), //! ]).write_to(&mut std::io::stdout()).unwrap(); //! ``` //! //!
