buntstift-go makes the CLI colorful.

$ go get gopkg.in/thenativeweb/buntstift-go.v0

b := buntstift.New()

To write messages to the console use the Success and Error methods to show that your application has succeeded or failed. If you want to provide additional information, use the Info and Verbose methods. In case of any warnings, use the Warn method.

b.Info("Updating...")
b.Success("Done.");

To print a blank line call the NewLine method.

b.NewLine();

To print a line call the Line method.

b.Line();

To write a list to the console use the List method. Optionally, you may specify an indentation level. Setting the indentation level to 0 is equal to omitting it.

b.List("foo");
b.List("bar", 0);
b.List("baz", 1);

//  ∙ foo
//  ∙ bar
//    ∙ baz

If you want to force disable colors set the NoColor option to true.

var options = buntstift.Options{
  NoColor: true,
}

b := buntstift.New(options)
b.Info("No color")

If your system does not support UTF characters, disable them by setting the NoUtf8 option to true.

var options = buntstift.Options{
  NoUtf8:  true,
}

b := buntstift.New(options)
b.Info("Ascii")

If your application performs a long-running task, you may use the WaitFor method to show a waiting indicator to the user.

b.WaitFor(func(stop chan bool) {
  // Do something
  // ...
  stop <- true
});
