# chalk
Simple terminal string styling in Haskell, in the style of JavaScript's [sindresorhus/chalk](https://github.com/sindresorhus/chalk) and [sindresorhus/ansi-styles](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ansi-styles).
## Installation
```
cabal install chalk
```
## Usage
(Image borrowed from [sindresorhus/ansi-styles](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ansi-styles).) Use any of the styling functions above to get the effect you want.
Since these are functions, you can compose them as you like.
```haskell
import System.Console.Chalk
main = do
putStrLn $ green "This is going to be green."
putStrLn $ (underline . blue) "This is going to be blue and underlined."
```
The type of the styling functions is `(Monoid m, IsString m) => m -> m`, so you
can use any type that has an instance of Monoid and IsString, which probably covers
what you will use this for.
