A Rust library designed to make clap help output beautiful.

clor brings high-contrast badges, styled usage prompts, and clean aligned subcommand/option lists to clap CLI applications in Rust.

Tweet @vsnthdev, I would love to know your opinion & experience on this project 😍

✨ Features

1. Beautiful badge-style section headers (USAGE, COMMANDS, OPTIONS)
2. Works seamlessly with clap's derive macro and builder API
3. Zero-dependency custom help renderer built on clap

🚀 Quick Start

Add clor to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
clap = { version = "4.5", features = ["derive"] }
clor = "0.0.2"

Then attach .clor_style() to your clap Command:

use clap::{CommandFactory, Parser};
use clor::ClorExt;

#[derive(Parser)]
#[command(name = "mycli")]
#[command(about = "A sample CLI with clor styling")]
struct Cli {
    #[arg(short, long)]
    config: Option<String>,
}

fn main() {
    let mut cmd = Cli::command().clor_style();
    cmd.print_help().unwrap();
}
