Usage

[](#usage)

> Note: It is not guaranteed that all of these ANSI codes will work on all terminals. See [here](https://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting#terminals_compatibility) for a list of compatible terminals.

```
$stringBuilder = new \Ansi\StringBuilder;

echo $stringBuilder
         ->raw('Hello, ')
         ->underline('John Doe')
         ->resetUnderline()
         ->raw('. ')
         ->raw('This is ')
         ->color16(\Ansi\Color16::FG_RED, 'red')
         ->raw('.')
         .PHP_EOL;
```

### `\Ansi\StringBuilder`

[](#ansistringbuilder)

> Note: Each of these functions takes an optional `string` parameter which will be added immediately after the ANSI code is applied. They also all follow the [Fluent Design Pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface). The string builder itself implements the `__toString` magic method, and as such can be treated as a string.

MethodResult`bold()`Sets the bold flag.`dim()`Sets the dim flag.`underline()`Sets the underline flag.`blink()`Sets the blink flag.`invertColor()`Set the invert colors flag.`hide()`Sets the hidden flag.`reset()`Resets all colors and flags to default.`resetBold()`Resets the bold flag.`resetDim()`Resets the dim flag.`resetUnderline()`Sets the underline flag.`resetBlink()`Resets the blink flag.`resetInvertColors()`Resets the invert colors flag.`resetHidden()`Resets the hidden flag.`color16(int)`Sets the current 16-bit foreground or background color. (See `\Ansi\Color16`)`color256(int)`Sets the current 256-bit color. (See [here](https://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting#colors1) for a list of color codes.)`backgroundColor256(int)`Sets the current 256-bit background color. (See [here](https://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting#colors1) for a list of color codes.)#### Utility Methods

[](#utility-methods)

MethodResult`raw(string)`Adds a raw string.`ansi(value)`Escapes and appends a custom ANSI value.`stripAnsi()`Removes all ANSI sequences from the StringBuilder.`empty()`Empties out the StringBuilder.### `\Ansi\Color16`

[](#ansicolor16)
