fated 0.2.1

A Python library for adding visual effects to terminal text output

Fated - Text Effects Library for Python

Fated is a Python library that adds visual effects to text output including typewriter animation and other text styling options. It provides a simple API for creating rich, animated terminal text with no external dependencies.

Features

• Text Animation Effects: Typewriter, blink, fade-in, wave, glitch, shake, matrix, and more
• Text Styling: Colors, background colors, bold, italic, underline, and other text styles
• Chainable Effects: Combine multiple effects together seamlessly
• Simple API: Intuitive interface that works with standard print function
• Alternative Syntax: Use the + operator with shortcut objects for even cleaner code
• No Dependencies: Uses only Python standard library modules

Installation

Install directly from PyPI using pip:

pip install fated

Alternative installation methods:

1. Clone the repository and include the fate folder in your project:

git clone https://github.com/fredised/fated.git

2. Or simply copy the fate directory to your project.

Usage

Traditional Syntax

from fate import typewriter, color, style

# Simple typewriter effect
print(typewriter("Hello, World!"))

# Colored text
print(color.red("This text is red"))
print(color.blue("This text is blue"))

# Text styling
print(style.bold("Bold text"))
print(style.italic("Italic text"))

# Chain multiple effects
print(style.bold(color.green(typewriter("Bold green typewriter text"))))

# Predefined combinations
from fate import error, warning, success, info
print(error("Error message"))
print(success("Success message"))

Shortcut Syntax (New!)

from fate.shortcuts import fateTypeWriter, fateRed, fateBold

# Use the + operator
print(fateTypeWriter + "Hello, World!")

# Colored text
print(fateRed + "This text is red")

# Text styling
print(fateBold + "Bold text")

# Custom parameters
print(fateTypeWriter(speed=20) + "Fast typing!")

# Predefined combinations
from fate.shortcuts import fateError, fateSuccess
print(fateError + "Error message")
print(fateSuccess + "Success message")
