Functionality to render ANSI escape sequences.
ANSI escape sequences are characters embedded in text used to control formatting, color, and other output options on video text terminals.
ANSI escapes are typically enabled on all Unix terminals. They are also available on Windows consoles from Windows 10, although it must be explicitly enabled for the current user in the registry by running the following command:
reg add HKCU\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
After running the command above, you must restart your current console.
Examples
Because the ANSI escape sequences are embedded in text, the normal usage of these functions is to concatenate their output with text.
formatted_text = IO.ANSI.blue_background() <> "Example" <> IO.ANSI.reset()
IO.puts(formatted_text)
A higher level and more convenient API is also available via IO.ANSI.format/1
,
where you use atoms to represent each ANSI escape sequence and by default
checks if ANSI is enabled:
IO.puts(IO.ANSI.format([:blue_background, "Example"]))
In case ANSI is disabled, the ANSI escape sequences are simply discarded.

@spec color(0..255) :: String.t()
Sets foreground color.
@spec color(0..5, 0..5, 0..5) :: String.t()
Sets the foreground color from individual RGB values.
Valid values for each color are in the range 0 to 5.
@spec color_background(0..255) :: String.t()
Sets background color.
@spec color_background(0..5, 0..5, 0..5) :: String.t()

@spec cursor(non_neg_integer(), non_neg_integer()) :: String.t()
Sends cursor to the absolute position specified by line
and column
.
Line 0
and column 0
would mean the top left corner.
@spec cursor_down(pos_integer()) :: String.t()

Sends cursor lines
up.
Sets foreground color to cyan.

Default background color.
Default text color.
@spec enabled?() :: boolean()
Checks if ANSI coloring is supported and enabled on this machine.
This function simply reads the configuration value for
:ansi_enabled
in the :elixir
application. The value is by
default false
unless Elixir can detect during startup that
both stdout
and stderr
are terminals.

Formats a chardata-like argument by converting named ANSI sequences into actual ANSI codes.
The named sequences are represented by atoms.
It will also append an IO.ANSI.reset/0
to the chardata when a conversion is
performed. If you don't want this behaviour, use format_fragment/2
.
An optional boolean parameter can be passed to enable or disable
emitting actual ANSI codes. When false
, no ANSI codes will emitted.
By default checks if ANSI is enabled using the enabled?/0
function.
Examples
iex> IO.ANSI.format(["Hello, ", :red, :bright, "world!"], true)
[[[[[[], "Hello, "] | "\e[31m"] | "\e[1m"], "world!"] | "\e[0m"]
