Banner
Add beautiful banners into your Go applications
Table of Contents
Motivation
I Like to add these startup banners on all my applications, I think it give personality to the application.
Usage
Import the package. Thats it.
package main
import _ "github.com/dimiro1/banner/autoload"
func main() {}
By default it look at the file banner.txt in the same directory. You can customize with the command line flags.
If you do not want to use the autoload package you can always fallback to the banner API
package main
import (
"bytes"
"os"
"github.com/dimiro1/banner"
)
func main() {
isEnabled := true
isColorEnabled := true
banner.Init(os.Stdout, isEnabled, isColorEnabled, bytes.NewBufferString("My Custom Banner"))
}
If using windows, use go-colorable. This works in all-platforms.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"os"
"github.com/dimiro1/banner"
"github.com/mattn/go-colorable"
)
func main() {
isEnabled := true
isColorEnabled := true
banner.Init(colorable.NewColorableStdout(), isEnabled, isColorEnabled, bytes.NewBufferString("My Custom Banner"))
}
API
I recommend you to vendor this dependency in your project, as it is a good practice.
Command line flags
$ go run main.go -h
should output
Usage of main:
-ansi
ansi colors enabled? (default true)
-banner string
banner.txt file (default "banner.txt")
-show-banner
print the banner? (default true)

$ go run example/main.go -banner example/nyancat.txt
Example
____, _ \, _), __ _ _ __ _ __ ___ _ __, _ < / _`, '_ \, '_ \ / _ \ '__, _), (_, __/, ____/ \__,_, _, _, _, _, \___, _, GoVersion: {{ .GoVersion }}
GOOS: {{ .GOOS }}
GOARCH: {{ .GOARCH }}
NumCPU: {{ .NumCPU }}
GOPATH: {{ .GOPATH }}
GOROOT: {{ .GOROOT }}
Compiler: {{ .Compiler }}
ENV: {{ .Env "GOPATH" }}
Now: {{ .Now "Monday, 2 Jan 2006" }}
will output something like this
____, _ \, _), __ _ _ __ _ __ ___ _ __, _ < / _`, '_ \, '_ \ / _ \ '__, _), (_, __/, ____/ \__,_, _, _, _, _, \___, _, GoVersion: go1.6

Log
I am using the standard golang log, but there is a function SetLog that accepts a custom log, so you can customize the way you want.
