Inksac

Inksac is a Rust library that amplifies terminal outputs by offering a seamless integration with ANSI color support. It is devised to be uncomplicated, flexible, and delightful to utilize, adding a splash of color to your terminal applications.

Features

1. Check ANSI Color Support: Before painting your terminal with vibrant colors, ascertain if the current terminal supports ANSI colors using Inksac's built-in function.

2. Customizable Styles: Inksac allows the creation of distinct text styles with customizable foreground and background colors, giving a personal touch to your terminal display.

3. Vivid Text Outputs: Enrich your terminal applications with colorful text outputs using the ColoredString structure.

4. True Color Support: Experience the diversity of colors with Inksac supporting true color by RGB and HEX values.

5. Text Format Options: Beautify your text with bold, dim, italic, underline formats. Stay tuned for more format options in future releases.

Usage

Here is a basic example demonstrating how to utilize the Inksac crate:

use inksac::is_color_available;
use inksac::types::{Color, ColoredString, Style};

fn main() {
    // Check if the terminal supports ANSI colors
    match is_color_available() {
        Ok(_) => println!("Terminal supports ANSI colors"),
        Err(err) => println!("{}", err),
    }

    // Create a style using the new builder pattern
    let title_style = Style::builder()
        .foreground(Some(Color::Green))
        .background(Some(Color::Red))
        .bold()
        .build();

    // Create a ColoredString with the predefined style
    let title_text = ColoredString::new("Hello World", title_style);

    // Print the ColoredString
    println!("{}", title_text);
}

Installation

To add Inksac as a dependency to your project, run the following command:

cargo add inksac

Disclaimer

Please note that the actual color representation may vary based on the terminal's capabilities and might not function as anticipated on all platforms.
