Colory

A simple library to make your command line application more colorful!

Getting Started

To use colory in your project, add it to the dependencies section in you Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
colory = "0.5.0"

This will allow Cargo to download, build, and cache the colory as a package directly from crates.io.

use colory::{ForegroundColor as fg, colory_init};

fn main() {
    colory_init(); // required to call this on windows. It will do nothing on *nix systems.
    println!("{}Hello, world!{}", fg::Green, fg::Normal);
}

For more complex examples, see the examples directory.
