Crate skittles

Add colors and formatting to ANSI terminal output with easy-to-use macros built on top of ansi_term.

Installation

First, add skittles to the dependencies section of your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
skittles = "0.1"

Next, add add this to the entrypoint of your crate (lib.rs or main.rs).

#[macro_use]
extern crate skittles;

Usage

Each macro provided by skittles can accept a string literal or a format string with arguments as input.

println!(
    "{} - {} {} {}.",
    underline!("Skittles"),
    red!("Taste"),
    green!("the"),
    blue!("rainbow")
);

You can also compose skittles macros together to get the exact color and formatting you want while avoiding itermediate allocations entirely.

println!(
    "{} - {} {} {}.",
    blink!(yellow!("Skittles")),
    underline!(red!("Taste")),
    underline!(italic!(green!("the"))),
    underline!(bold!(blue!("rainbow")))
);
