Vari

Vari (Väri) is a Rust library for formatting strings with colors and cosmetic stuff to the terminal. Like Rich library for Python.

Installing

[dependencies]
vari = "0.1.6"

Features

Color Anchor

Color anchor are a bbcode-like markup for colors and styles (eg. "[$red]", "[bg$yellow]", "[$bold]")

// [$/] is shorthand for [$reset]
let message = vari::format("[$blue]Hello, [$green]World![$/]");
println!("{}", message);

// Custom RGB!
println!("{}", vari::format("[$[114, 119, 39]]#727727![$[66, 4, 32]] Do you see it?[$/]"));

// Style anchor and also easy macros :O
vprintln!("{}Bold and Italic :O{}", "[$bold][$italic]", "[$/]");

// Background color
vprintln!("{}Backgroundssss{}[$/]", "[bg$magenta]", "[bg$[188, 188, 188]]World![$/]")

Colorize

Colorize string directly by calling colorize() method, like colored crate.

For example: "red".colorize("red") is the same as "[$red]red[$/]"

Note: Chaining is not yet implemented, because .colorize() adds [$/] so you can't chain styles

The argument should be the color's name (the same name as the anchor colors).

use vari::colorize::Colorize;

fn main() {
    println!("{}", "Hello, World".colorize("cyan"));
    println!("{}", "This is red".colorize("brightred"));
    println!("{}", "Bold.".colorize("bold"));
}

Fun

fn main() {
    // Rainbow colors!
    println!("{}", vari::fun::rainbow("Rainbow!!!"));
}
