Extensions for class String
HighLine::String is a subclass of String with convenience methods added for colorization.
Available convenience methods include:
* 'color' method e.g. highline_string.color(:bright_blue, :underline) * colors e.g. highline_string.magenta * RGB colors e.g. highline_string.rgb_ff6000 or highline_string.rgb(255,96,0) * background colors e.g. highline_string.on_magenta * RGB background colors e.g. highline_string.on_rgb_ff6000 or highline_string.on_rgb(255,96,0) * styles e.g. highline_string.underline
Additionally, convenience methods can be chained, for instance the following are equivalent:
highline_string.bright_blue.blink.underline highline_string.color(:bright_blue, :blink, :underline) HighLine.color(highline_string, :bright_blue, :blink, :underline)
For those less squeamish about possible conflicts, the same convenience methods can be added to the built-in String class, as follows:
require 'highline' Highline.colorize_strings
