A Custom Box can be created by using the built-in Box struct provided by the module.
type Box struct {
TopRight string // TopRight Corner Symbols
TopLeft string // TopLeft Corner Symbols
Vertical string // Vertical Bar Symbols
BottomRight string // BottomRight Corner Symbols
BottomLeft string // BottomLeft Corner Symbols
Horizontal string // Horizontal Bar Symbols
Config // Box Config
}In main.go:
package main
import "github.com/Delta456/box-cli-maker/v2"
func main() {
config := box.Config{Px: 2, Py: 3, Type: "", TitlePos: "Inside"}
boxNew := box.Box{TopRight: "*", TopLeft: "*", BottomRight: "*", BottomLeft: "*", Horizontal: "-", Vertical: "|", Config: config}
boxNew.Println("Box CLI Maker", "Make Highly Customized Terminal Boxes")
}

The gookit/color module provides support for colors in your program. It uses two main types: FgColor and FgHiColor. These types correspond to different color settings.Color is a key for the following maps:
fgColors map[string]color.Color = {
"Black": color.FgBlack,
"Blue": color.FgBlue,
"Red": color.FgRed,
"Green": color.FgGreen,
"Yellow": color.FgYellow,
"Cyan": color.FgCyan,
"Magenta": color.FgMagenta,
"White": color.FgWhite,
}
fgHiColors map[string]color.Color = {
"HiBlack": color.FgDarkGray,
"HiBlue": color.FgLightBlue,
"HiRed": color.FgLightRed,
"HiGreen": color.FgLightGreen,
"HiYellow": color.FgLightYellow,
"HiCyan": color.FgLightCyan,
"HiMagenta": color.FgLightMagenta,
"HiWhite": color.FgLightWhite,
}There are two maps, fgColors and fgHiColors, which map color names to their respective settings. Here are some examples:
fgColorsmaps basic colors like Black, Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, and White.fgHiColorsmaps high-intensity colors like HiBlack, HiBlue, HiRed, HiGreen, HiYellow, HiCyan, HiMagenta, and HiWhite.
If you want to use high-intensity colors, make sure the color name starts with "Hi." If the color option is empty or invalid, no color will be applied.
You can also use True Colors by providing them as either a uint or [3]uint. For [3]uint, all elements must be in the range of [0, 0xFF], and for uint, it should be in the range of [0x000000, 0xFFFFFF].
If your terminal doesn't support True Colors, the module will automatically round the colors to match the terminal's maximum supported colors. This simplifies things for most users.
If you're curious about supported terminals, you can check the list of 24-bit supported terminals and 8-bit supported terminals.
Additionally, this module enables True Color and 256 Colors support on Windows Console through Virtual Terminal Processing. However, for 256 colors, you need at least Windows 10 Version 1511, and for True Color support, you need at least Windows 10 Version 1607.
Finally, if you're using Windows, the module can detect ConEmu or ANSICON if they're installed. To ensure the best experience, it's recommended to use the latest versions of both programs.
This library allows the usage of custom wrapping of Content so that the Box formed will be created according to your own needs.
To use this feature, you need to do two things:
-
Set Config.AllowWrapping to true. This tells the library to allow custom wrapping.
-
Optionally, you can set your own wrapping limit using Config.WrappingLimit. By default, the wrapping limit is set to 2/3 of the current terminal's width (TermWidth).
So, in simple terms, if you want to customize how content is wrapped in boxes, make sure to enable wrapping with Config.AllowWrapping, and if needed, you can adjust the wrapping limit using Config.WrappingLimit, which is initially set to 2/3 of the terminal's width.
As different terminals have different fonts by default, the right vertical alignment may not be aligned well. You will have to change your font accordingly to make it work.
Unicode is a character encoding standard that assigns unique codes to characters from various writing systems, allowing universal text representation.
This library relies on mattn/go-runewidth to support Unicode and Emoji characters but consider the following:
-
Proper rendering of Unicode and Emojis on Windows is primarily supported by
Windows Terminal,ConEmu, andMinttyas terminal emulators. They handle these characters well. -
Indic text (a script used in some Indian languages) may not display correctly in most terminals. It's important to note that support for Indic text is quite limited.
-
Avoid using this library in certain environments like online code playgrounds such as
Go Playground,Repl.it, and in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These platforms typically use fonts that only support basic ASCII characters, making it problematic to accurately calculate character lengths when the font changes dynamically. -
Depending on your font settings, you may need to make adjustments to ensure proper rendering of Unicode and Emoji characters. Failure to do so could result in issues with vertical alignment.
In essence, while this library supports Unicode and Emojis, there are limitations and considerations to keep in mind, especially when dealing with different terminal environments and character sets.
For beginners, this library can adjust True Color to work with your terminal's capabilities, either 8-bit or 4-bit color.
Detecting your terminal's color capacity isn't always straightforward, and there's no universal method. However, if you know a solution for your specific terminal, you can contribute by making a pull request.
For Unix systems:
-
If True Color detection fails, you can set the
COLORTERMenvironment variable totruecoloror24bitfor True Color support. -
For 8-bit color-based terminals, if detection doesn't work, set the
TERMenvironment variable to your terminal emulator's name followed by256color, likexterm-256color.
Keep in mind that very old terminals like Windows Console (Legacy Mode) or terminals with TERM set to DUMB might not show color effects, and the module may output unexpected results or warnings.
It's generally not recommended to use this library with color effects in Online Playgrounds, CI/CD environments, Browsers, and similar platforms since color support varies, and detection is challenging. If you encounter issues, you can open an issue and suggest a solution!
This library supports the usage of tabs but their use should be limited.

I thank the following people and their packages whom I have studied and was able to port to Go accordingly.
Also special thanks to @elimsteve who helped me to optimize the code and told me the best possible ways to fix my problems, @JalonSolov for tab lines support and Kunal Raghav for making the library's logo.
Kudos to moul/golang-repo-template for their Go template.
