Prettier_prints

Lightweight library for prettier terminal outputs similar to chalk for JavaScript. Helping make Python outputs easier to read and styled to your desires.

Install

pip install prettier-prints

Examples: out()

    from prettier_prints.prettier_prints import PrettierPrints
    pp = PrettierPrints()
    pp.style = 'red;underline'  # <-- Can optionally predefine styling and can be overwritten
    
    # Old style (v1)
    print(pp.out(msg="Lets test the output"))
    print(pp.out(msg="Lets override the styling here", style="blue;bold"))
    print(pp.out(json_out={'msg': 'For those who prefer a JSON object param, this works too'}))
    print(pp.out(json_out={'msg': 'Can also overwrite this way', 'style': 'yellow;highlight'}))
    print(f'Works great for output messages as well -> {pp.out(msg="See :)", style="magenta")}')

    # New v2 style
    from prettier_prints.prettier_printsv2 import Output
    pp = Output()
    print(f"\n{pp.msg('Hello').red().bold().underline()}")
    print(f"{pp.msg('Hello').green().bold().out()}")

json()

    from prettier_prints.prettier_prints import PrettierPrints
    pp = PrettierPrints()
    json_obj = {'test': 'cool', 'test_two': 'cool_two', 'dict_check': {'test': 'hello'},
                'list_check': [
                    'test',
                    'test two',
                    {
                        'test': 'hello',
                        'test_two': 'bloop'
                    },
                    {
                        'test': 'hello',
                        'test_two': 'bloop'
                    }
                ]}
