Tinter

It prints ANSI colored output. That is all.

What is it?

This is a very minimal implementation for generating ANSI escape sequences in Rust.

• Basic Colors: The standard 8 colors and their slightly-more-exciting "bright" variants.
• A Color Enum:.
• A Style Struct:. Only foreground color now
• A StyledText Wrapper: wrapping your text inside glorious colors.

Why use this (and why you probably shouldn't)

Let's be honest, there are tons of other crates out there that do terminal coloring, and they are generally more robust, feature-rich, and easier to use than this. Crates like yansi, ansi_term, and termcolor.

Why to use it

• You have a fear of adding external dependencies, even tiny ones (like me).

Probably don't use this if

• You need robust, cross-platform terminal coloring.
• You want support for 256 colors, truecolor, or any other fancy features.
• You prefer well-tested, feature-complete libraries.
