FR: Classes for colors

[DanChaltiel]

Hi,

I just discovered the awesome color system in cli, my console output has never been more clear and readable :-)

However, I was surprised that you have to use functions to set the colors.
I was hoping for color classes, so that the following two code lines were equivalent:

cli_bullets("This is {col_red('red')}.")
cli_bullets("This is {.red red}.")

Would that be considered?

Thanks for the suggestion, but we are not going to do this, because it is probably better to choose the colors in a theme. Themes are somewhat hard to configure for developers, but they are much easier for end users, e.g. if you want {.emph} to be orange, you can set this in your R profile:

options(cli.user_theme = list(.emph = list(color = "orange")))

and then try:

cli::cli_text("This is {.emph orange} now")
