Base methods ------------ [](#base-methods) **escape($string)**: Escapes % so they don't get interpreted as color codes; Takes a string as an argument and returns the escaped string. **convert($string, $colored = true))**: Transform color codes whithin supplied string into ANSI control codes Magic methods ------------- [](#magic-methods) For each of the colors supported you can call: - {colorname}Normal($string) - {colorname}Bright($string) - {colorname}Background($string) to quickly format the string accordingly. Code conversion table --------------------- [](#code-conversion-table) Normal Bright Background Black %k %K %0 Red %r %R %1 Green %g %G %2 Yellow %y %Y %3 Blue %b %B %4 Magenta %m %M %5 Cyan %c %C %6 White %w %W %7 CodeEffect%FBlinking, Flashing%UUnderline%8Reverse%\_,%9Bold%nResets the color%%A single %Examples -------- [](#examples) ``` use Localgod\Console\Color; // Let's add a little color to the world // %n resets the color so the following stuff doesn't get messed up print Color::convert("%bHello World!%n\n"); // Paint it red print Color::redNormal("Paint it red!\n"); // Colorless mode, in case you need to strip colorcodes off a text print Color::convert("%rHello World!%n\n", false); // The uppercase version makes a colorcode bold/bright print Color::convert("%BHello World!%n\n"); // To print a %, you use %% print Color::convert("3 out of 4 people make up about %r75%% %nof the world population.\n"); // Or you can use the escape() method. print Color::convert("%y".Color::escape('If you feel that you do everying wrong, be random, there\'s a 50% Chance of making the right decision.')."%n\n"); ``` Inspiration ----------- [](#inspiration) This projects is a reimplementation of the ideas used in [http://pear.php.net/package/Console\_Color/](http://pear.php.net/package/Console_Color/) ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 84% of packages Maintenance40 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity18 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 57.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers.
