🖍 NerdyMishka.Chalk 🖍

Console/Terminal string styling for .NET console applications based on the amazing chalk library and it's dependencies in node.

Overview

I looked for a .NET library that similar to chalk while writing Kryptos, a command line to for encrypting/decrypting files. I did not find one. What I did find was exciting news around the Windows Console.

Microsoft has a team that is working hard on transforming the Windows Console after decades of gathering dust.

Windows 10 1511 and above enabled true color for the Windows console. This library will enable virtual terminal for Stand Output streams on Window 10. The virtual termainl is enabled in static constructor for Chalk. Chalk uses ANSI codes to style terminal strings.

The chalk library for node relies on libuv to handle true color support for windows.

Console/Terminal emulators often support 256 colors, but not true color, this include ConEmu. This library will attempt to find the closet color that the terminal supports.

Samples

ChalkConsole.WriteLine("test test", Color.Red);

Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Red().Draw("This is a test"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.BrightRed().Draw("This is a test"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Color("Orange")
    .Draw("orange you glad Microsoft is updating the console?"));

Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Rgb(255, 0, 0).Draw("Rgb accepted"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.BgRed().White().Draw("This is a test"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Magenta().Draw("This is a test w/o bold"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Magenta().Bold().Draw("This is a test"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.BrightYellow().Draw("This is a test w bright"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Yellow().Draw("This is a test w/o bright"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Yellow().Dim().Draw("This is a test w  dim"));
Console.WriteLine(
    Chalk.Color("Purple", true)
    .Bold()
    .White()
    .Underline()
    .Draw(" > Woah! "));
Console.WriteLine("Back to being a normie");
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Grey("chill"));
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.Black("chill"));

// emojis still do not work in the window's console
Console.WriteLine(Chalk.StrikeOut().Draw("3 strikes 😃"));
