TOC

Installation

Version 1.x

Using gopkg.in.

go get -u gopkg.in/logrusorgru/aurora.v1
Version 2.x
go get -u github.com/logrusorgru/aurora
Go modules support, version v3+

Get

go get -u github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v3

The v3 was introduced to support go.mod and leave previous import paths as is. Currently, there is no changes between them (excluding the importpath's /v3 tail).

The latest version
go get -u github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4

With hyperlinks.

Test

go test -cover -race github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4

Replace the import path with your, if it's different.

Usage

Simple

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("Hello,", aurora.Magenta("Aurora"))
	fmt.Println(aurora.Bold(aurora.Cyan("Cya!")))
}

simple png

Printf

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Got it %d times\n", aurora.Green(1240))
	fmt.Printf("PI is %+1.2e\n", aurora.Cyan(3.14))
}

printf png

aurora.Sprintf

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(aurora.Sprintf(aurora.Magenta("Got it %d times"), aurora.Green(1240)))
}

sprintf png

Enable/Disable colors

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"flag"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4"
)

// colorizer
var au *aurora.Aurora

var colors = flag.Bool("colors", false, "enable or disable colors")

func init() {
	flag.Parse()
	au = aurora.New(WithColors(*colors))
}

func main() {
	// use colorizer
	fmt.Println(au.Green("Hello"))
}

Without flags: disable png

With -colors flag: enable png

Hyperlinks, default colorizer, and configurations

Hyperlinks feature description.

Add a red hyperlinks with text "Example" that is referencing to http://example.com.

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora/v4"
)

func main() {
	var conf = aurora.NewConfig()
	conf.AddFlags(flag.CommandLine, "prefix.")
	flag.Parse()

	aurora.DefaultColorizer = aurora.New(conf.Options()...) // set global

	fmt.Println(aurora.Red("Example").Hyperlink("http://example.com/"))
}

Depending flags: depending flags png depending flags gif

Chains

The following samples are equal

x := aurora.BgMagenta(aurora.Bold(aurora.Red("x")))
x := aurora.Red("x").Bold().BgMagenta()

The second is more readable

Colorize

There is Colorize function that allows to choose some colors and format from a side

func getColors() Color {
	// some stuff that returns appropriate colors and format
}

// [...]

func main() {
	fmt.Println(aurora.Colorize("Greeting", getColors()))
}

Less complicated example

x := aurora.Colorize("Greeting", GreenFg|GrayBg|BoldFm)

Unlike other color functions and methods (such as Red/BgBlue etc) a Colorize clears previous colors

x := aurora.Red("x").Colorize(BgGreen) // will be with green background only

Grayscale

fmt.Println("  ",
	aurora.Gray(1-1, " 00-23 ").BgGray(24-1),
	aurora.Gray(4-1, " 03-19 ").BgGray(20-1),
	aurora.Gray(8-1, " 07-15 ").BgGray(16-1),
	aurora.Gray(12-1, " 11-11 ").BgGray(12-1),
	aurora.Gray(16-1, " 15-07 ").BgGray(8-1),
	aurora.Gray(20-1, " 19-03 ").BgGray(4-1),
	aurora.Gray(24-1, " 23-00 ").BgGray(1-1),
)

8-bit colors

Methods Index and BgIndex implements 8-bit colors.

Index/BgIndex Meaning Foreground Background
0- 7 standard colors 30- 37 40- 47
8- 15 bright colors 90- 97 100-107
16-231 216 colors 38;5;n 48;5;n
232-255 24 grayscale 38;5;n 48;5;n

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora"
)

func main() {
	for i := uint8(16); i <= 231; i++ {
		fmt.Println(i, aurora.Index(i, "pew-pew"), aurora.BgIndex(i, "pew-pew"))
	}
}

Limitations

There is no way to represent %T and %p with colors using a standard approach

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/logrusorgru/aurora"
)

func main() {
	var (
		r = aurora.Red("red")
		i int
	)
	fmt.Printf("%T %p\n", r, aurora.Green(&i))
}

Output will be without colors

aurora.value %!p(aurora.value={0xc42000a310 768 0})

The obvious workaround is Red(fmt.Sprintf("%T", some))

Windows

The Aurora provides ANSI colors only, so there is no support for Windows. That said, there are workarounds available. Check out these comments to learn more:

TTY

The Aurora has no internal TTY detectors by design. Take a look this comment if you want turn on colors for a terminal only, and turn them off for a file.
