Inksac is a Rust library that enhances terminal outputs by providing easy to use ANSI color support. It's designed to be simple, flexible, and enjoyable to use, giving your terminal applications a colorful edge.

Features

1. Check ANSI Color Support: Inksac has a built-in function to check if the current terminal supports ANSI colors.

2. Customizable Styles: Create your own text styles with customizable foreground and background colors.

3. Colorful Text Output: Enhance your terminal applications with colorful text outputs using Inksac's ColoredString.

4. True Color Support: Inksac Supports True Color by RGB, HEX values.

5. Format Support: Inksac Support Bold, Dim, Italic, Underline - More options can be added in the future.

Usage

use inksac::check_color_available;
use inksac::types::*;

// Check if the terminal supports ANSI colors
match check_color_available() {
    Ok(_) => println!("Terminal supports ANSI colors"),
    Err(_) => println!("Terminal does not support ANSI colors"),
}

// Define your style
const TITLESTYLE: Style = Style{
    forground: Some(Color::Green),
    background: Some(Color::Red),
    bold: true,
    dim: false,
    italic: false,
    underline: false
};

// Create a colored string
let title_text: ColoredString = ColoredString::new(
    "Hello World",
    TITLESTYLE
);

// Output the colored string
println!("{}", title_text);

Installation

cargo add inksac

Disclaimer

Please note that color support depends on the terminal's capabilities and might not work as expected on all platforms.
