Crate termstyle

termstyle: create and test the style and formatting for the text in your terminal applications

termstyle is a library that aims to make it easy to build formatted and styled command line applications.

Examples

extern crate serde_yaml;
use termstyle::{Color, El, Text};

// example raw yaml file
let example = r#"
- ["plain ", {t: "and bold", b: true}]
- ["plain ", {t: "and red", c: red}]
"#;

// deserialize as yaml (you can use `serde_json::from_str` for json, etc).
let els = termstyle::from_str(serde_yaml::from_str, example).unwrap();

// This could have also been programmatically constructed like this
let expected = vec![
    El::plain("plain ".into()),
    El::Text(Text::new("and bold".into()).bold()),
    El::plain("plain ".into()),
    El::Text(Text::new("and red".into()).color(Color::Red)),
];

assert_eq!(els, expected);

// Render directly to stdout. Can also use `El::paint` to
// do one at a time.
termstyle::paint(&mut ::std::io::stdout(), &els).unwrap();
