Getting Started

First, add bevy_pretty_text to the dependencies in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy_pretty_text = "0.4"

Then, you'll need to add the PrettyTextPlugin to your app.

use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_pretty_text::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::default()
        .add_plugins((DefaultPlugins, PrettyTextPlugin))
        .run();
}

And then you can make some pretty text!

fn spawn_text(mut commands: Commands, mut materials: ResMut<Assets<Rainbow>>) {
    // Spawn wavy `Text`.
    commands.spawn((
        Text::new("Hello, World!"),
        Wave::default(),
        TextFont::from_font_size(52.0),
    ));

    // Use the typewriter.
    commands.spawn((
        Typewriter::new(30.),
        Text2d::new("My text is revealed\none glyph at a time"),
        Transform::from_xyz(0., 200., 0.),
        TextFont::from_font_size(36.0),
    ));

    // Spawn a style entity.
    commands.spawn((
        PrettyStyle("my_style"),
        TextFont::from_font_size(48.0),
        effects![
            PrettyTextMaterial(materials.add(Rainbow::default())),
            Wave::default(),
        ],
    ));

    // Parse rich text and use custom style.
    commands.spawn((
        pretty!("I am |1|<0.8>*sniff*|1|<1.2> very [pretty](my_style)!|3|<1>"),
        Typewriter::new(10.0),
        TextFont::from_font_size(52.0),
        Node {
            position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
            left: Val::Px(0.0),
            bottom: Val::Px(0.0),
            ..Default::default()
        },
    ));
}

The repository examples should help you get up to speed on common usage patterns.
