A scala (2.11+) macro based ansi interpolator.
It has two advantages over non-macro interpolators:
- is faster and lighter (brings no extra dependency at runtime)
- detects syntax issues at compile time
Add the following dependency to your SBT project:
"org.backuity" %% "ansi-interpolator" % "1.1" % "provided"
Note about provided: see this stackoverflow answer
for a better SBT dependency scope.
Import the AnsiFormatter and use the ansi interpolator:
import org.backuity.ansi.AnsiFormatter.FormattedHelper
