Macro ansi

ansi!() { /* proc-macro */ }

The ansi! macro

The proc macro directly returns the harcoded string result of the DSL syntax and styling you provided fully at compile time.

Syntax:

Each styling argument is passed to the ansi macro separated by a space as such:

ansi!(red bold);

Each styling argument (which has a color target) may also have any combination of these arguments:

• “br” - sets the target as a bright color
• “bg” - sets the color as the background color

Example with a red bright background and a bold style:

ansi!(bg.br.red bold);

(foreground is the default of written colors so to specify a red foreground you can just write “red”)

We also Support rgb with the rgb(r, g, b) syntax like this:

ansi!(rgb(255, 34, 55));

Idiomatic ansic syntax is also storing styles in constants and using them to style in a much less verbose way:

const ERROR: &str = ansi!(br.red bold underline italic);
const RESET: &str = ansi!(reset);

fn main() {
    println!("{ERROR}[ERROR]: Hello, world!{RESET}");
}

Rgb colors may also take bg as an argument but br won’t have an effect

ansi!(bg.rgb(255, 34, 55))
