A go module where you want to integrate go-palette. To create one, follow this guide.
go get github.com/abusomani/go-palette
After installing the go-palette package, we start using it the following way.
A very useful feature of Go’s import statement are aliases. A common use case for import aliases is to provide a shorter alternative to a library’s package name.
In this example, we save ourselves having to type palette everytime we want to call one of the library’s functions, we just use pal instead.
import (
pal "github.com/abusomani/go-palette/palette"
)package main
import (
pal "github.com/abusomani/go-palette/palette"
)
func main() {
p := pal.New()
p.Println("This text is going to be in default color.")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithBackground(pal.Color(pal.BrightYellow)), pal.WithForeground(pal.Black))
p.Println("This text is going to be in black color with a yellow background.")
}Output
package main
import (
pal "github.com/abusomani/go-palette/palette"
)
func main() {
p := pal.New()
p.Println("This text is going to be in default color.")
// We can use color codes from the palette to set as foreground and background colors
p.SetOptions(pal.WithBackground(pal.Color(11)), pal.WithForeground(0))
p.Println("This text is going to be in black color with a yellow background.")
}Output
package main
import (
pal "github.com/abusomani/go-palette/palette"
)
func main() {
p := pal.New(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Bold}))
p.Println("Bold")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Dim}))
p.Println("Dim")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Italic}))
p.Println("Italic")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Underline}))
p.Println("Underline")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.SlowBlink}))
p.Println("SlowBlink")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Hidden}))
p.Print("Hidden")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithDefaults())
p.Println("<-Hidden")
p.SetOptions(pal.WithSpecialEffects([]pal.Special{pal.Strikethrough}))
p.Println("Strikethrough")
}Flush resets the Palette options with default values and disables the Palette.
package main
import (
pal "github.com/abusomani/go-palette/palette"
)
func main() {
p := pal.New()
p.Println("This text is going to be in default color.")
// We can use color codes from the palette to set as foreground and background colors
p.SetOptions(pal.WithBackground(pal.BrightMagenta), pal.WithForeground(pal.Black))
p.Println("This text is going to be in black color with a bright magenta background.")
p.Flush()
p.Println("This text is going to be in default color.")
}Output
Go-Palette provides ANSI colors only. Windows does not support ANSI out of the box. To toggle the ANSI color support follow the steps listed in this superuser thread.
Go-Palette provides styled support using ANSI Color codes through escape sequences. This varies between different Terminals based on its setting. Refer ANSI Escape Codes for more details.
