Description

ColorLib is a C++ library which allows for the easy creation of colored/formated strings using ANSI escape codes

Features

• ColorStrings: Strings which allow for the modification of the color and style of characters within it
• ColorChars: Characters which can be styled and joined together to form ColorStrings
• Style Macros: Multiple macros which allow for the easy selection of predifined styles and colors

Example: Counter

#include <iostream>
#include <print>
#include <ColorLib.hpp>
using namespace colorlib;

int main()
{
    
   for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   {
     if (i % 2 == 0)
     {
        std::print("{}",ColourString(i,RED));
     }

     else
     {
      std::print("{}",ColourString(i,BLUE));
     }

   }
   
   

    return 0;
}
