enable-ansi-support: Enable ANSI escape code support on Windows 10

enable-ansi-support on crates.io Documentation (latest release) Documentation (main) License License

About

This crate provides one function, enable_ansi_support, which allows ANSI escape codes to work on Windows 10 and above. Call enable_ansi_support once, early on in main(), to enable ANSI escape codes generated by crates like ansi_term or owo-colors to work on Windows just like they do on Unix platforms.

On non-Windows platforms, enable_ansi_support is a no-op.

Example

fn main() {
    match enable_ansi_support::enable_ansi_support() {
        Ok(()) => {
            // ANSI escape codes were successfully enabled, or this is a non-Windows platform.
            // Use your terminal color library of choice here.
            println!("\x1b[31mHello, world\x1b[0m");
        }
        Err(_) => {
            // The operation was unsuccessful, typically because it's running on an older
            // version of Windows. The program may choose to disable ANSI color code output in
            // this case.
        }
    }
}

Minimum supported Rust version

The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.49. The MSRV will be updated sparingly, and any update to it will be considered a breaking change.
