Usage

use terminal_tools_plus_plus::*;

fn main() {
    print_banner("CLI PROJECT");

    log_status("Starting services...", Status::Info);

    let pb = ProgressBar::new(100).set_width(30);

    for i in 0..=100 {
        pb.draw(i);
        std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(20));
    }

    pb.finish();

    let spinner = Spinner::start("Loading...");
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2));
    spinner.stop();

    log_status("System ready", Status::Ok);
}

Design Goals

Zero configuration
No async runtime required
Works in any Rust CLI project
Minimal dependencies

Why this crate

Many CLI tools lack clear feedback during execution. This crate helps you:

Provide visual feedback during long operations
Improve readability with structured and colored output
Build tools that feel more modern and responsive
