# golors

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/a-poor/golors.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/a-poor/golors)

_created by Austin Poor_

A tiny go package for printing colorful text to the terminal.

Functions wrap `fmt.Print` and `fmt.Println` for the following colors:

* Red

* Green

* Yellow

* Blue

* Purple

* Cyan

* Gray

* Grey (alias of Gray)

* White

## Example

```go

package main

import "github.com/a-poor/golors"

func main() {

    // Print red text and a new-line character

    golors.Redln("This text is red!")

    

    // These three commands print a single line "whitecyanpurple"

    // but where each word is the correct color

    golors.White("white")

    golors.Cyan("cyan")

    golors.Purpleln("purple")

}

```

And the result is:

## ToDo

Include more colors, background colors, and text styles (_ie_ bold, faint, italics, and underlined)
