colorize 0.0.2

d-colorize

A partial port of Ruby's colorize library to D.

To put it simply, this is a simple helper for printing colored output to a terminal.

Installing

This package is registered in the dub registry as colorize.

Usage

import std.stdio;
import colorize : colorize, fg;

void main()
{
  writeln("This is blue".colorize(fg.blue));
}

colorize(string str, fg c, bg b=bg.init, mode m=mode.init)

Wraps a string around color escape sequences.

Params

• str = The string to wrap with colors and modes
• c = The foreground color (see the fg enum type)
• b = The background color (see the bg enum type)
• m = The text mode (see the mode enum type)

Example

colorize("This is red over green blinking", fg.blue, bg.green, mode.blink)

Available colors and modes

fg enum type (Foreground colors)

Foreground text colors are available through the fg enum. Currently available colors are:

• fg.init (39)
• fg.black (30)
• fg.red (31)
• fg.green (32)
• fg.yellow (33)
• fg.blue (34)
• fg.magenta (35)
• fg.cyan (36)
• fg.white (37)
• fg.light\_black (90)
• fg.light\_red (91)
• fg.light\_green (92)
• fg.light\_yellow (93)
• fg.light\_blue (94)
• fg.light\_magenta (95)
• fg.light\_cyan (96)
• fg.light\_white (97)

bg enum type (Background colors)

Background colors are available with the same names through the bg enum. This is because background colors come with an offset of 10 to their foreground counterparts and we wanted to avoid calculating the offset at runtime.

mode enum type (Text modes)

Text modes are available through the mode enum. Currently available text modes are:

• mode.init (0)
• mode.bold (1)
• mode.underline (4)
• mode.blink (5)
• mode.swap (7)
• mode.hide (8)
