Rich-go is a Go library for printing text in terminal in a more readable and eye-pleasing way. This library is meant to be a Go equivalent of the Python library Rich by Textualize.
Note: This library is still in development and is not yet ready for production use.
To install Rich-go, you just need to go get it:
go get github.com/rvfet/rich-goRich-go aims to be as simple as possible to use. Here is a simple example:
package main
import (
"github.com/rvfet/rich-go"
)
func main() {
rich.Print("Hello, World!")
}
Common logging functions are also available:
package main
import (
"github.com/rvfet/rich-go"
)
func main() {
rich.Info("Connecting to database...")
rich.Warning("Connection timed out, retrying...")
rich.Error("Connection failed!")
rich.Success("Connection successfully established!")
rich.Debug("Connection took 2.5s")
}
Rich-go also supports inline styles, arguments and nesteding. Here's a crazy example:
package main
import (
"github.com/rvfet/rich-go"
)
func main() {
rich.Print("[x]Hello[/] [green][i]World[/] and its", 8, "[white]billion[/] [b]beautiful[/] [red]inhabitants[/]!")
rich.Debug("This API [yellow]has to be[/yellow] [u]revised[/u] and [u]optimized[/u]!")
}
Note: For icons to work, you need to have a font that supports them. You can use the Nerd Fonts for this.
For real-world usage example and quickly getting started, check out the Example code.
- Basic text printing
- Basic logging functions
- Inline styles
- Making Print and logging functions variadic
- Handling nested styles in a better way
- Implementing string formatting:
rich.Print("Hello, %s!", name)orrich.Print("Hello, {name}!") - Making monkey-patching easier and improving modularity
- Perhaps, a docs website?
- Config file for customizing styles
- Logging to file
