A command-line color library with 16/256/True color support, universal API methods and Windows support.

> **[中文说明](README.zh-CN.md)**

Basic color preview:

![basic-color](_examples/images/basic-color2.png)

Now, 256 colors and RGB colors have also been supported to work in Windows CMD and PowerShell:

![color-on-cmd-pwsh](_examples/images/color-on-cmd-pwsh.jpg)

## Features

  - Simple to use, zero dependencies

  - Supports rich color output: 16-color (4-bit), 256-color (8-bit), true color (24-bit, RGB)

    - 16-color output is the most commonly used and most widely supported, working on any Windows version

    - Since `v1.2.4` **the 256-color (8-bit), true color (24-bit) support windows CMD and PowerShell**

    - See [this gist](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728) for information on true color support

  - Support converts `HEX` `HSL` value to RGB color

  - Generic API methods: `Print`, `Printf`, `Println`, `Sprint`, `Sprintf`

  - Supports HTML tag-style color rendering, such as `message> text>`.

    - In addition to using built-in tags, it also supports custom color attributes

    - Custom color attributes support the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values

    - Support working on Windows `cmd` and `powerShell` terminal

  - Basic colors: `Bold`, `Black`, `White`, `Gray`, `Red`, `Green`, `Yellow`, `Blue`, `Magenta`, `Cyan`

  - Additional styles: `Info`, `Note`, `Light`, `Error`, `Danger`, `Notice`, `Success`, `Comment`, `Primary`, `Warning`, `Question`, `Secondary`

  - Support by set `NO_COLOR` for disable color or use `FORCE_COLOR` for force open color render.

  - Support Rgb, 256, 16 color conversion

## 256-color usage

> 256 colors support Windows CMD, PowerShell environment after `v1.2.4`

### Set the foreground or background color

- `color.C256(val uint8, isBg ...bool) Color256`

```go

c := color.C256(132) // fg color

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c := color.C256(132, true) // bg color

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

### 256-color style

Can be used to set foreground and background colors at the same time.

- `S256(fgAndBg ...uint8) *Style256`

```go

s := color.S256(32, 203)

s.Println("message")

s.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

with options:

```go

s := color.S256(32, 203)

s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})

s.Println("style with options")

s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")

```

Run demo: `go run ./_examples/color_256.go`

![color-tags](_examples/images/color-256.png)

## RGB/True color

> RGB colors support Windows `CMD`, `PowerShell` environment after `v1.2.4`

**Preview:**

> Run demo: `Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_rgb.go`

![color-rgb](_examples/images/color-rgb.png)

example:

```go

color.RGB(30, 144, 255).Println("message. use RGB number")

color.HEX("#1976D2").Println("blue-darken")

color.HEX("#D50000", true).Println("red-accent. use HEX style")

color.RGBStyleFromString("213,0,0").Println("red-accent. use RGB number")

color.HEXStyle("eee", "D50000").Println("deep-purple color")

```

### Set the foreground or background color

- `color.RGB(r, g, b uint8, isBg ...bool) RGBColor`

```go

c := color.RGB(30,144,255) // fg color

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c := color.RGB(30,144,255, true) // bg color

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:

- `color.HEX(hex string, isBg ...bool) RGBColor`

```go

c := color.HEX("ccc") // can also: "cccccc" "#cccccc"

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c = color.HEX("aabbcc", true) // as bg color

c.Println("message")

c.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

### RGB color style

Can be used to set the foreground and background colors at the same time.

- `color.NewRGBStyle(fg RGBColor, bg ...RGBColor) *RGBStyle`

```go

s := color.NewRGBStyle(RGB(20, 144, 234), RGB(234, 78, 23))

s.Println("message")

s.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:

- `color.HEXStyle(fg string, bg ...string) *RGBStyle`

```go

s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")

s.Println("message")

s.Printf("format %s", "message")

```

with options:

```go

s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")

s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})

s.Println("style with options")

s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")

```

## HTML-like tag usage

`Print,Printf,Println` functions support auto parse and render color tags.

```go

	text := `

  gookit/color:>

     A command-line> 

     color library> with 256-color>

     and True-color> support,

     universal API> methods

     and Windows> support.

`

	color.Print(text)

```

Preview, code please see [_examples/demo_tag.go](_examples/demo_tag.go):

![demo_tag](_examples/images/demo_tag.png)

**Tag formats:**

- Use built in tags: `CONTENT>` e.g: `message>`

- Custom tag attributes: `CONTENT>` e.g: `wel>`

> **Supported** on Windows `cmd.exe` `PowerShell`.

Examples:

```go

// use style tag

color.Print("he>llo>, wel>come>")

color.Println("hello>")

color.Println("hello>")

color.Println("hello>")

// custom color attributes

color.Print("hello, welcome>\n")

// Custom label attr: Supports the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values

color.Println("he>llo>, wel>come>")

```

 

### Tag attributes

tag attributes format:

```text

attr format:

 // VALUE please see var: FgColors, BgColors, AllOptions

 "fg=VALUE;bg=VALUE;op=VALUE"

16 color:

 "fg=yellow"

 "bg=red"

 "op=bold,underscore" // option is allow multi value

 "fg=white;bg=blue;op=bold"

 "fg=white;op=bold,underscore"

256 color:

 "fg=167"

 "fg=167;bg=23"

 "fg=167;bg=23;op=bold"

 

True color:

 // hex

 "fg=fc1cac"

 "fg=fc1cac;bg=c2c3c4"

 // r,g,b

 "fg=23,45,214"

 "fg=23,45,214;bg=109,99,88"

```

> tag attributes parse please see `func ParseCodeFromAttr()`

### Built-in tags

Built-in tags please see var `colorTags` in [color_tag.go](color_tag.go)

```go

// use style tag

color.Print("he>llo>, wel>come>")

color.Println("hello>")

color.Println("hello>")

```

Run demo: `go run ./_examples/color_tag.go`

![color-tags](_examples/images/color-tags.png)

**Use `color.Tag` build message**:

```go

// set a style tag

color.Tag("info").Print("info style text")

color.Tag("info").Printf("%s style text", "info")

color.Tag("info").Println("info style text")

```

## Color convert

Supports conversion between Rgb, 256, 16 colors, `Rgb <=> 256 <=> 16`

```go

basic := color.Red

basic.Println("basic color")

c256 := color.Red.C256()

c256.Println("256 color")

c256.C16().Println("basic color")

rgb := color.Red.RGB()

rgb.Println("rgb color")

rgb.C256().Println("256 color")

```

### Detect color level

`color` automatically checks the color levels supported by the current environment.

```go

// Level is the color level supported by a terminal.

type Level = terminfo.ColorLevel

// terminal color available level alias of the terminfo.ColorLevel*

const (

	LevelNo  = terminfo.ColorLevelNone     // not support color.

	Level16  = terminfo.ColorLevelBasic    // basic - 3/4 bit color supported

	Level256 = terminfo.ColorLevelHundreds // hundreds - 8-bit color supported

	LevelRgb = terminfo.ColorLevelMillions // millions - (24 bit)true color supported

)

```

- `func SupportColor() bool` Whether the current environment supports color output

- `func Support256Color() bool` Whether the current environment supports 256-color output

- `func SupportTrueColor() bool` Whether the current environment supports (RGB)True-color output

- `func TermColorLevel() Level` Get the currently supported color level
