Spring Frameworks Shell - Adding Colour

I am currently making a app that acts as a shell using the spring framework. In the documentation it says as its based of roo it supports colour on both unix and windows platforms (via jansi) but does not say how to use it. Having @|red text|@ does not seem to work and google isnt being much of a help as i either come accross random documentation that doesnt help or to use threads that say to use the ASCI referances

Solution

  • You can use jansi directly in your shell command implementation. Something like the following:

    @CliCommand("hello")
public String hello(@CliOption(key="who") String who) {
    return Ansi.ansi().render("@|red Hello|@ " + who);
}
