API Reference

k3color

k3color creates colored text on terminal.

Str

Str is a string like object in terminal on Unix. Str provides with basic string operations and methods such as len(s): length. s + t: concat two strings. s * 10: repeat a string. s == t: equal. splitliens(). split(). join().

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
v str | Str

the string to colourize.

required
color int | str | None

the color of v. It can also be a named color such as: blue cyan green purple red white yellow optimal normal loaded warn danger.

A int value colour must be in range of [0-256].

None
