Package wlog creates simple to use UI structure. The UI is used to simply print to the screen. There a wrappers that will wrap each other to create a good looking UI. You can add color and prefixes as well as make it thread safe.
It is recommended to use govendor or any vendoring tool allowing you to specify which version of this package you would like to use.
import "github.com/dixonwille/wlog"I used Mitchellh's CLI structure and wrapping for the different structures. It was a clean look and feel. Plus it was pretty simple to use. But I didn't want all the other cli stuff that came with the package so I created this.
For color I use DavidDenGCN's Go-ColorText. His color package allows for color that is available cross-platforms. I made a wrapper with all possible color combinations with his package. So you only have to import this package (one less line).
var ui UI
reader := strings.NewReader("User Input\r\n") //Simulate user typing "User Input" then pressing [enter] when reading from os.Stdin
ui = New(reader, os.Stdout, os.Stdout)
ui = AddPrefix("?", Cross, " ", "", "", "~", Check, "!", ui)
ui = AddConcurrent(ui)
ui.Ask("Ask question", "")
ui.Error("Error message")
ui.Info("Info message")
ui.Output("Output message")
ui.Running("Running message")
ui.Success("Success message")
ui.Warn("Warning message")Output:

✗ Error message
