coloured-strings

Rust crate that allows coloured strings to be printed to the terminal with the smallest file size neccessary.

NOTE: This version supports true colour in exchange for a slightly larger file size. If rgb colour is not neccessary, please download the previous verion instead.

  colour("this is a green string", "green");
  colour("this is a red string", "r");
  colour("this is a string with a strikethrough", "s");
  colour(&colour("this string has white text and a blue background", w")[..], "b-bl"));
  custom_colour("A custom string!", true, 255, 100, 200);

How to Use

Run cargo add coloured-strings Afterwards, write this in your file use coloured_strings

Example:

use coloured_strings::*;

fn main() {
    println!("{}", colour("I love coloured text!", "brightgreen");
}
