View Source IO.ANSI (Elixir v1.16.0)
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 1After 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 format(ansidata(), boolean()) :: IO.chardata()
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 be emitted.
By default checks if ANSI is enabled using the enabled?/0 function.
An ArgumentError will be raised if an invalid ANSI code is provided.
Examples
iex> IO.ANSI.format(["Hello, ", :red, :bright, "world!"], true)
[[[[[[], "Hello, "] | "\e[31m"] | "\e[1m"], "world!"] | "\e[0m"]@spec format_fragment(ansidata(), boolean()) :: IO.chardata()
Formats a chardata-like argument by converting named ANSI sequences into actual ANSI codes.

An optional boolean parameter can be passed to enable or disable
emitting actual ANSI codes. When false, no ANSI codes will be emitted.
By default checks if ANSI is enabled using the enabled?/0 function.

Syntax colors to be used by Inspect.
Those colors are used throughout Elixir's standard library,
such as dbg/2 and IEx.
The colors can be changed by setting the :ansi_syntax_colors
in the :elixir application configuration. Configuration for
most built-in data types are supported: :atom, :binary,
:boolean, :charlist, :list, :map, :nil, :number,
:string, and :tuple. The default is:
[
atom: :cyan
boolean: :magenta,
charlist: :yellow,
nil: :magenta,
number: :yellow,
string: :green
]@spec underline() :: String.t()
