hel-colored

ANSI string colorizer and styler

Features

• Lazy (no-alloc, no-copy, until needed, e.g. to_string called)
• Made with performance in mind
• Only RGB(TrueColor) support (no default CLI colors)
• No nested checks by default, which leads up to 2x performance.

Examples

Simply by

"Hello World!".bold().blue().underline();

Nested with "nested" feature

cargo add hel-colored -F nested

let blue_text: ANSIString<&str> = "blue text".blue();
let green_blue_green_text: ANSIString<String> = format!("Green {blue_text} wrapping").green();
// Better to call `to_string` above
println!("{green_blue_green_text}");

Or with builder

let builder: ANSIStringBuilder = ANSIStringBuilder::new().bold().underline().orange();
let str1 = builder.build("Hello");
let str2 = builder.build("World!");
println!("{str1}, {str2}")

How to install
