terminal colors

tc.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"tc" //terminal color
)


// First syntax idea
// Please skip this and take a look at the second idea. 
//   Now that I've put that down I find it way better..
func main() {
	var strBla = "blabla"
	var numSix = 6

	// Parse @fg and @bg
	var coloredText = tc.Color("@fg{red} red text @fg{21}@bg{226} blue text and yellow background")
	fmt.Println(coloredText)
	fmt.Println("this is printed with terminal defaults, tc.Color() always ends with reset.")

	// Parse color without reset at the end
	var colorSettings tc.ColorWithoutReset("@fg{red} this is printed in red.")
	fmt.Println(colorSettings)
	fmt.Println("this is also printed in red.")

	// Reset coloring
	fmt.Print(tc.Reset())

	// Combined with Printf
	fmt.Printf(tc.Color("@fg{red} %s @fg{21} %d"), strBla, numSix)

	// Or directly (wrapped fmt.Printf):
	tc.Printf("@fg{red} %s @fg{21} %d", strBla, numSix)
}

// Second syntax idea.
// I find this better readable and more correct.
// Ofcourse there's still the problem that the given format-string should not have user-input.
//   Programmers should use Printf for that..
func main() {
	var strBla = "blabla"
	var numSix = 6

	// Parse @fg and @bg
	coloredText := tc.Color("[fg-red] red text [fg-blue bg-226] blue text and yellow background")
	fmt.Println(coloredText)
	fmt.Println("this is printed with terminal defaults, tc.Color() always ends with reset.")

	// Parse color without reset at the end
	colorSettings := tc.ColorWithoutReset("[fg-red] this is printed in red.")
	fmt.Println(colorSettings)
	fmt.Println("this is also printed in red.")

	// Reset coloring
	fmt.Print(tc.Reset())

	// Prepared colorored Printf format string
	formatString := tc.Color("[fg-red] %s [fg-21] %d")
	fmt.Printf(formatString, strBla, numSix)

	// Wrapped fmt.Printf:
	tc.Printf("[fg-red] %s [fg-21] %d", strBla, numSix)

	// Other code's would be:
	// [fg-blue] and a lot of other basic color codes.
	// [bg-blue] and a lot of other basic color codes.
	// [reset]
	// [bold] ??
	// [italic] ??
	// [underlined] ??
}

// Third idea
// No format string
func main() {
	var strBla = "blabla"
	var numSix = 6

	// Parse @fg and @bg
	coloredText := tc.Format(tc.fgRed, "red text", tc.fgBlue, tc.bgYellow, "blue text and yellow background")
	fmt.Println(coloredText)
	fmt.Println("this is printed with terminal defaults, tc.Color() always ends with reset.")

	// Parse color without reset at the end
	colorSettings := tc.FormatWithoutReset(tc.fgRed, "this is printed in red.")
	fmt.Println(colorSettings)
	fmt.Println("this is also printed in red.")

	// Reset coloring
	fmt.Print(tc.Reset())

	// Prepared colorored Printf format string
	formatString := tc.Format(tc.fgRed, "%s ", tc.fg(21) ,"%d")
	fmt.Printf(formatString, strBla, numSix)

	// Wrapped fmt.Printf:
	tc.Printf(tc.fgRed, "%s ", tc.fg(21), tc.bg(240) ,"%d", strBla, numSix)
