Ansic

The most efficient and easy ansi styling crate ever!

Ansic is a crate which adds the ansi! proc macro, which allows for easy, simple and zero cost styling which happens at compiletime, in addition to other ansi utilities. (with default and 100% support for #[no_std])

Features:

• Convenient and easy DSL syntax
• Compiletime styling with proc macro
• Zero cost at runtime
• Encoded in static str's

Why ansic?

There are tons of other ansi styling crates out there so why ansic? Ansic is supposed to be for people which are annoyed with the weird nesting and reuseability pattern of other crates and which doesn't like that on every single print and use of the ANSI styles, it needs to be processed to get the final style. ansic solves this is a clean, quick and easy way.

Usage:

To make a red foreground, bold and underline ansi

ansi!(red bold underline)

All color arguments can take these arguments:

• "br" - bright
• "bg" - background (rgb can only take bg)

You can chain them like this if we want a red background:

ansi!(bg.red bold underline)

Or if you want a red bright background you can do this:

ansi!(bg.br.red bold underline)

In addition we can add a foreground color now that we have a background one. Let's add green!

ansi!(bg.br.red green bold underline)

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}");
}

Ansic also supports full RGB styles with the color syntax "rgb(r, g, b)".

Ansic has alot more styles which you can find on our docs.rs page: Ansic on Docs.rs; Ansic also has util macros and functions for more convenient use (listed under Comparisons)
