README

chalk

Simple terminal string styling in Haskell, in the style of JavaScript's sindresorhus/chalk and sindresorhus/ansi-styles.

Installation

cabal install chalk

Usage

Styles

(Image borrowed from sindresorhus/ansi-styles.) Use any of the styling functions above to get the effect you want.

Since these are functions, you can compose them as you like.

import System.Console.Chalk

main = do
  putStrLn $ green "This is going to be green."
  putStrLn $ (underline . blue) "This is going to be blue and underlined."

The type of the styling functions is (Monoid m, IsString m) => m -> m, so you can use any type that has an instance of Monoid and IsString, which probably covers what you will use this for.
