cliux

Styled terminal output made simple.

cliux is a lightweight Rust crate for formatting terminal output with clean, readable components — no TUI required. It helps CLI tools present information with structure and style using boxes, sections, dividers, lists, tags, and smart padding.

✨ Features

• Boxed — bordered containers with titles and content
• Section — titled blocks with horizontal dividers
• Divider — customizable horizontal lines
• List — bullet-pointed lists with customizable styles
• Tag — colored tags with customizable styles
• Padding — Unicode-aware padding (emoji-safe)

Examples

Boxed

use cliux::Boxed;

fn main() {
    Boxed::new("Cliux Boxed")
        .content("This code uses the cliux library to create a boxed section.")
        .width(61)
        .print();
}

Label

fn main() {
    Label::new("INFO").style("info").print();

}

Section

use cliux::Section;

fn main() {
    Section::new("Wrapped Section")
        .content("This is a long sentence that will be wrapped intelligently across multiple lines.")
        .width(40)
        .wrap(true)
        .style('─')
        .print();
}
