This crate allows you to style te terminal cross-platform.
It supports all UNIX and windows terminals down to windows 7 (not all terminals are tested see [Tested Terminals](#tested-terminals) for more info)
This crate is a sub-crate of [crossterm](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm) to style te terminal, and can be use individually.
Other sub-crates are:
- [Crossterm Input](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm_input)
- [Crossterm Terminal](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm_terminal)
- [Crossterm Screen](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm_screen)
- [Crossterm Cursor](https://crates.io/crates/crossterm_cursor)
When you want to use other modules as well you might want to use crossterm with [feature flags](http://atcentra.com/crossterm/feature_flags.html).

## Getting Started
This documentation is only for `crossterm_style` version `0.2` if you have an older version I suggest you check the [Upgrade Manual](https://github.com/TimonPost/crossterm/blob/master/docs/UpgradeManual.md). Also, check out the [examples](https://github.com/TimonPost/crossterm/tree/master/crossterm_style/examples) folders with detailed examples for all functionality of this crate.
Add the `crossterm_style` package to your `Cargo.toml` file.
```
[dependencies]
`crossterm_style` = "0.2"
```
And import the `crossterm_style` modules you want to use.
```rust
extern crate crossterm_style;
pub use crossterm_style::{color, style, Attribute, Color, ColorType, ObjectStyle, StyledObject, TerminalColor};
```

## Examples
Check out the [examples](/examples/) for more information about how to use this crate.
_style font with attributes_
```rust
use crossterm_style::{Colored, Color, Colorize, Styler, Attribute};
// pass any `Attribute` value to the formatting braces.
println!("{} Underlined {} No Underline", Attribute::Underlined, Attribute::NoUnderline);
// you could also call different attribute methods on a `&str` and keep on chaining if needed.
let styled_text = "Bold Underlined".bold().underlined();
println!("{}", styled_text);
// old-way but still usable
let styled_text = style("Bold Underlined").bold().underlined();
```
_style font with colors_
```rust
use crossterm_style::{Colored, Color, Colorize};
println!("{} Red foreground color", Colored::Fg(Color::Red));
println!("{} Blue background color", Colored::Bg(Color::Blue));
// you can also call different coloring methods on a `&str`.
let styled_text = "Bold Underlined".red().on_blue();
println!("{}", styled_text);
// old-way but still usable
let styled_text = style("Bold Underlined").with(Color::Red).on(Color::Blue);
```
_style font with RGB and ANSI Value_
```rust
// custom rgb value (Windows 10 and UNIX systems)
println!("{} some colored text", Colored::Fg(Color::Rgb {
r: 10,
g: 10,
b: 10
}));
// custom ansi color value (Windows 10 and UNIX systems)
println!("{} some colored text", Colored::Fg(Color::AnsiValue(10)));
```
## Tested terminals
- Windows Powershell
- Windows 10 (pro)
- Windows CMD
- Windows 10 (pro)
- Windows 8.1 (N)
- Ubuntu Desktop Terminal
- Ubuntu 17.10
- (Arch, Manjaro) KDE Konsole
- Linux Mint
This crate supports all Unix terminals and windows terminals down to Windows 7 but not all of them have been tested.
If you have used this library for a terminal other than the above list without issues feel free to add it to the above list, I really would appreciate it.
## Notice
This library is average stable now, I don't expect it to not to change that much.
If there are any changes that will affect previous versions I will [describe](https://github.com/TimonPost/crossterm/blob/master/docs/UpgradeManual.md) what to change to upgrade.
## Contributing
I highly appreciate it when you are contributing to this crate.
Also Since my native language is not English my grammar and sentence order will not be perfect.
So improving this by correcting these mistakes will help both me and the reader of the docs.
