Crate blazer 

Blazer

blazer is a lightweight, dependency-minimal library for building beautiful command-line interfaces in Rust. It provides:

• Text styling & coloring via the Stylize trait — chainable, ergonomic methods like .red(), .bold(), .on_blue().
• True color & 256-color support via Color::Rgb and Color::Fixed.
• Progress bars via progress::ProgressBar.
• Animated spinners via spinner::Spinner.
• Tables via table::Table.
• Common CLI symbols (checkmarks, crosses, arrows, etc.) via the symbols module.
• Terminal utilities (size detection, color support detection) via the terminal module.

Quick start

use blazer::Stylize;

println!("{}", "Success!".green().bold());
println!("{}", "Warning".yellow().italic());
println!("{}", "Error".white().on_red().bold());
println!("{}", "Custom".rgb(255, 140, 0));

Progress bars

use blazer::progress::ProgressBar;

let mut bar = ProgressBar::new(50).with_label("Downloading");
for i in 0..=50 {
    bar.set_position(i);
    bar.draw();
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(20));
}
bar.finish_with_message("Done!");

Spinners

use blazer::spinner::Spinner;

let mut spinner = Spinner::new("Working...");
spinner.start();
std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2));
spinner.stop("Finished!");

Tables

use blazer::table::Table;

let mut table = Table::new(vec!["Name", "Status"]);
table.add_row(vec!["build", "ok"]);
table.add_row(vec!["test", "failed"]);
table.print();

Modules

color

Color definitions and utilities for terminal output.

progress

A simple, customizable terminal progress bar.

spinner

A simple animated terminal spinner for indicating ongoing work.

style

Text styling functionality including colors, bold, italic, underline, and more.

symbols

Common Unicode symbols and icons useful for CLI output, such as checkmarks, crosses, arrows, and spinner frame sets.

table

A minimal table renderer for displaying tabular data in the terminal.

terminal

Terminal utilities: querying the size of the terminal window and detecting whether output likely supports color.

Macros

paint

A macro for styling strings using inline markup tags and printing them to standard output. Paint prints the styled string and then resets the style without adding a new line.

paintln

A macro for styling strings using a shorthand idiomatic syntax and printing them to standard output. Paintln prints the styled string and then resets the style, adding a new line.

style

A macro for styling strings using inline markup tags.
