cli 2.0.0 has a new set of functions that help creating a CLI using a set of higher level elements: headings, paragraphs, lists, alerts, code blocks, etc. The formatting of all elements can be customized via themes. See the “Building a semantic CLI” article on the package web site: https://cli.r-lib.org
is_dynamic_tty(), setting R_CLI_DYNAMIC="FALSE" now properly turns dynamic tty off (#70).cli has now functions to add ANSI styles to text. These use the crayon package internally, and provide a simpler interface. See the col_*, bg_*, style_* and also the make_ansi_style() and combine_ansi_styles() functions (#51).
New is_dynamic_tty() function detects if \r should be used for a stream (#62).
New is_ansi_tty() function detects if ANSI control sequences can be used for a stream.
New ansi_hide_cursor(), ansi_show_cursor() and ansi_with_hidden_cursor() functions to hide and show the cursor in terminals.
New make_spinner() function helps integrating spinners into your functions.
Now symbol always uses ASCII symbols when the cli.unicode option is set to FALSE.
