term-painter is a Rust library for coloring and formatting terminal output. It provides easy ways to format various things and uses the crate rust-lang/term to do the actual formatting. Example:
``` Rust println!("{} | {} | {} | {} | {}", Red.bg(Green).bold().paint("Red-Green-Bold"), Blue.paint("Blue"), Blue.bold().paint("BlueBold"), Blue.bg(Magenta).paint("BlueMagentaBG"), Plain.underline().paint("Underline"));
Red.with(|| { print!("JustRed"); Bold.with(|| { print!(" BoldRed {} BoldRed ", Underline.paint("Underline")); }); print!("JustRed ");
print!("{}", Blue.paint("Blue (overwrite) "));
Green.with(|| {
println!("Green (overwrite)");
});
}); ```
It's easy to use and integrates well with println!/print!. The main design
goal was to make it simple. This has one performance disadvantage: It will reset the terminal style after each printing operation. But performance isn't usually hugly important when printing on the terminal, so simplicity is more important.
More examples here (examples/main.rs) or in the Documentation.
Just add extern crate term_painter; in your crate root and the dependency in
your Cargo.toml file:
[dependencies]
term-painter = "*"

I've got some design ideas from rust-ansi-term. I decided to make my own crate though, since my goals were too different from ansi-term.
