yansi

A dead simple ANSI terminal color painting library for Rust.

```rust use yansi::Paint;

print!("{} light, {} light!", Paint::green("Green"), Paint::red("red").underline()); ```

See the documentation for more.

Why?

Several terminal coloring libraries already exist for Rust ([ansi_term], [colored], [term_painter], to name a few), begging the question: why yet another? Here are a few reasons for yansi:

• This library is much simpler: there are two types! The complete implementation is only about 250 lines of code.
• Like [term_painter], but unlike [ansi_term], any type implementing Display can be stylized, not only strings.
• Styling can be enabled and disabled on the fly.
• Arbitrary items can be masked for selective disabling.
• Typically, only one type needs to be imported: Paint.
• Zero dependencies. It really is simple.
• The name yansi is pretty short.

All that being said, this library borrows the general API of existing libraries as well as plenty of code from [ansi_term].
