Overview

Style and lay out terminal text in Go with Lip Gloss v2 (charm.land/lipgloss/v2, charmbracelet): ANSI colors and terminal colors, borders and boxes, padding, alignment, joining and placing blocks, light or dark adaptation, gradients, static tables, trees, lists, and layered overlays. Use when rendering styled strings or pretty terminal output for a TUI or CLI, drawing a bordered box, building a layout from measured blocks, or migrating v1 lipgloss code. Not for the event loop (charmed-bubbletea) or interactive widgets (charmed-bubbles).

Lip Gloss v2

Style and lay out terminal text in Go with Lip Gloss v2: colors that adapt to the background, borders, padding, alignment, joined and layered blocks, tables, trees, and lists, measured in terminal cells.

Import as "charm.land/lipgloss/v2"; subpackages are table, tree, list, and compat. Pinned and verified against v2.0.6. Go blocks headed // examples/... are trimmed from complete programs that build against the pinned modules; // excerpt blocks are API sketches.

If the project's go.mod still requires github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss (pre-v2), the v2 APIs here do not apply. Use go doc against the project's version and keep its import paths unless the user asks to migrate.

Workflow

  1. Standalone, decide light or dark once with HasDarkBackground before printing anything, and build a LightDark picker. Inside Bubble Tea, use tea.BackgroundColorMsg instead (see Light and dark backgrounds).
  2. Define styles as values; derive variants by chaining setters.
  3. Render blocks and measure them with lipgloss.Width, Height, or Size.
  4. Compose with JoinHorizontal, JoinVertical, and Place, or with layers for overlays; use the subpackages for tables, trees, and lists.
  5. Print with lipgloss.Println (standalone) or return the string in a tea.View.
  6. Check in a real terminal and compare lipgloss.Size with the width you expected. Wrong colors usually mean output went through fmt; a box off by its frame usually means GetFrameSize was subtracted from Width. Fix and rerun.

Mental model

A Style is a plain value. Setters return a new value, so you build styles by chaining and derive variants without mutating the base. Render turns a style plus text into a string carrying ANSI escape codes. Nothing else happens until that string reaches a terminal.

Render always emits full color; downsampling to what the terminal supports happens at output. Inside Bubble Tea v2 that is automatic. Standalone, print through Lip Gloss (see the basics example):

// examples/charmed-lipgloss/basics/main.go
title := lipgloss.NewStyle().
    Bold(true).
    Foreground(lipgloss.Color("#FAFAFA")).
    Background(lipgloss.Color("#7D56F4")).
    Padding(0, 1)

card := lipgloss.NewStyle().
    Border(lipgloss.RoundedBorder()).
    BorderForeground(lipgloss.Color("63")).
    Padding(1, 2).
    Width(40)

body := lipgloss.NewStyle().Italic(true).Faint(true)
warning := body.Faint(false).Italic(false).Foreground(lipgloss.Yellow) // body unchanged

lipgloss.Println(card.Render(title.Render("Lip Gloss v2") + "\n\n" + body.Render("...")))

lipgloss.Print, Println, Printf, Fprint*, and Sprint* all downsample. fmt.Println does not. The default writer targets stdout; for stderr use lipgloss.Fprintln(os.Stderr, s) or reassign lipgloss.Writer.

Colors

lipgloss.Color(s) is a function returning image/color.Color. It accepts hex ("#7D56F4") or an ANSI index ("212", "5"). The sixteen basic colors have names: lipgloss.Red, lipgloss.BrightGreen, and so on. Any color.Color works, so color.RGBA{...} from the standard library is fine too.

Style setters take color.Color: Foreground, Background, BorderForeground, BorderBackground, UnderlineColor, MarginBackground.

Helpers from the colors example (the gradient uses strings.Builder). lipgloss.Alpha(c, 0.5) also exists and sets a color's alpha on a 0 to 1 scale:

// examples/charmed-lipgloss/colors/main.go
base := lipgloss.Color("#7D56F4")
lipgloss.Lighten(base, 0.3)          // tint by 30 percent
lipgloss.Darken(base, 0.3)
lipgloss.Complementary(base)

// One color per rune from a two stop gradient. Index runes, not bytes:
// ranging over the string would sample at UTF-8 byte offsets.
word := "gradient"
runes := []rune(word)
stops := lipgloss.Blend1D(len(runes), lipgloss.Color("#FF5F87"), lipgloss.Color("#5FD7FF"))
var b strings.Builder
for i, r := range runes {
    b.WriteString(lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(stops[i]).Render(string(r)))
}

// Gradient borders are a style setting.
lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.RoundedBorder()).
    BorderForegroundBlend(lipgloss.Color("#FF5F87"), lipgloss.Color("#5FD7FF"))

Blend2D(width, height, angle, stops...) fills a rectangle. The gradient loop above colors per rune; wide characters and combining marks occupy cells differently, so for cell accurate gradients split by grapheme and measure with lipgloss.Width.

Light and dark backgrounds

Decide once whether the background is dark, then pick colors with LightDark. Standalone, as in the adaptive example:

// examples/charmed-lipgloss/adaptive/main.go
isDark := lipgloss.HasDarkBackground(os.Stdin, os.Stdout)   // queries the terminal
lightDark := lipgloss.LightDark(isDark)
fg := lightDark(lipgloss.Color("#1A1A1A"), lipgloss.Color("#F0F0F0")) // (light, dark)

profile := colorprofile.Detect(os.Stdout, os.Environ())
complete := lipgloss.Complete(profile)
brand := complete(lipgloss.Color("5"), lipgloss.Color("170"), lipgloss.Color("#D75FEE")) // (ansi, ansi256, truecolor)

Call HasDarkBackground before printing anything else; it exchanges an escape sequence with the terminal. Inside Bubble Tea, return tea.RequestBackgroundColor from Init and read msg.IsDark() from the tea.BackgroundColorMsg (see charmed-bubbletea).

Text decoration

Bold, Italic, Faint, Blink, Reverse, Strikethrough, Underline(bool), UnderlineStyle(lipgloss.UnderlineCurly) (also UnderlineSingle, UnderlineDouble, UnderlineDotted, UnderlineDashed, UnderlineNone), and UnderlineColor. Hyperlink(url) emits an OSC 8 link where the terminal supports it. Transform(func(string) string) runs on the text at render time (uppercase, truncation).

Style part of a string you already have. StyleRanges uses terminal-cell offsets; StyleRunes uses rune indexes. The colors example uses ASCII, where byte and cell offsets coincide:

// excerpt: StyleRanges appears in examples/charmed-lipgloss/colors/main.go; StyleRunes has no example
lipgloss.StyleRanges(s, lipgloss.NewRange(start, end, lipgloss.NewStyle().Reverse(true)))
lipgloss.StyleRunes(s, []int{0, 3, 5}, matchedStyle, unmatchedStyle)

Box model

Order from the inside out: content, padding, border, margin.

  • Padding(v...) and Margin(v...) take one to four ints in CSS order (all; vertical horizontal; top horizontal bottom; top right bottom left). Single sides: PaddingLeft, MarginTop, and so on. PaddingChar and MarginChar change the fill rune.
  • Width(n) and Height(n) set the size of the block before margins: padding and border are inside that number, margins are outside it. Text wraps at the width minus horizontal padding and border. Measured with the pinned module: Width(10).Padding(0, 1).Border(NormalBorder()) renders exactly 10 cells wide; adding Margin(0, 1) makes it 12. MaxWidth and MaxHeight truncate instead.
  • Align(pos) or AlignHorizontal and AlignVertical position text inside a fixed box. Positions are floats from 0 to 1 with names Left, Center, Right, Top, Bottom.
  • Border(b, sides...) sets the border and optionally which sides. Built in borders: NormalBorder, RoundedBorder, ThickBorder, DoubleBorder, BlockBorder, OuterHalfBlockBorder, InnerHalfBlockBorder, HiddenBorder (takes space, draws nothing), ASCIIBorder, MarkdownBorder. Per side toggles BorderTop(bool) etc, per side colors BorderTopForeground etc.
  • Inline(true) strips newlines and disables padding, borders, and margins, for a single line.
  • Inherit(other) copies unset properties from another style. Margins, padding, hyperlinks, and the underlying text are not inherited; an inherited background also becomes the margin background unless one is set.
  • SetString(s) attaches default text so style.String() renders it.

Every setter has a Get* and an Unset*. GetFrameSize() returns the horizontal and vertical space taken by padding, border, and margin together. Use it to find the content area inside a decorated box, or to size a child you render yourself inside a parent's frame. A box meant to fill w cells is Width(w - GetHorizontalMargins()), and the text inside it gets w - GetHorizontalFrameSize() cells.

Measuring, joining, placing

Measure with lipgloss.Width, Height, or Size, which count terminal cells and ignore escape codes (see the layout example):

// examples/charmed-lipgloss/layout/main.go
box := lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.NormalBorder()).Padding(0, 1)
left := box.Width(20).Render("left column\nwith two lines")
right := box.Width(24).Render("right column")

row := lipgloss.JoinHorizontal(lipgloss.Top, left, right)       // side by side
footer := lipgloss.NewStyle().Faint(true).Render("joined with JoinVertical")
page := lipgloss.JoinVertical(lipgloss.Center, row, footer)     // stacked

w, h := lipgloss.Size(page)
framed := lipgloss.Place(w+10, h+4, lipgloss.Center, lipgloss.Center, page,
    lipgloss.WithWhitespaceChars("."),
    lipgloss.WithWhitespaceStyle(lipgloss.NewStyle().Faint(true)),
)

centered := lipgloss.NewStyle().Width(30).Align(lipgloss.Center).Render("centered text")
long := "Lip Gloss wraps at word boundaries and preserves ANSI sequences across the break."
lipgloss.Println(lipgloss.Wrap(long, 30, "")) // word wrap, preserves ANSI and links

JoinHorizontal takes a vertical alignment for blocks of different height; JoinVertical takes a horizontal alignment. Place, PlaceHorizontal, and PlaceVertical pad a block out to a size; in Bubble Tea, feed them the values from tea.WindowSizeMsg.

Overlays, tables, trees, and lists

Migrating from v1

Read references/migration.md for the v1 to v2 mapping table (renderer removal, Color as a function, AdaptiveColor and the compat package, whitespace options) and the steps to check a migrated program.

Mistakes that cost time

  • Measuring with len(s) or utf8.RuneCountInString. Use lipgloss.Width; escape codes and wide runes both break the byte count.
  • Calling HasDarkBackground inside a running Bubble Tea program. It fights the renderer for the terminal. Use the message instead.
  • Printing styled output with fmt in a standalone tool and then reporting broken colors on a 256 color terminal.

# Lip Gloss v2

Style and lay out terminal text in Go with Lip Gloss v2: colors that adapt to
the background, borders, padding, alignment, joined and layered blocks,
tables, trees, and lists, measured in terminal cells.

Import as `"charm.land/lipgloss/v2"`; subpackages are `table`, `tree`, `list`,
and `compat`. Pinned and verified against v2.0.6. Go blocks headed
`// examples/...` are trimmed from
[complete programs](https://github.com/tpscloud/charmedimsure/tree/main/examples/charmed-lipgloss)
that build against the pinned modules; `// excerpt` blocks are API sketches.

If the project's `go.mod` still requires `github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss`
(pre-v2), the v2 APIs here do not apply.  Use `go doc` against the
project's version and keep its import paths unless the user asks to
migrate.

## Workflow

1. Standalone, decide light or dark once with `HasDarkBackground` before
   printing anything, and build a `LightDark` picker. Inside Bubble Tea, use
   `tea.BackgroundColorMsg` instead (see Light and dark backgrounds).
2. Define styles as values; derive variants by chaining setters.
3. Render blocks and measure them with `lipgloss.Width`, `Height`, or `Size`.
4. Compose with `JoinHorizontal`, `JoinVertical`, and `Place`, or with layers
   for overlays; use the subpackages for tables, trees, and lists.
5. Print with `lipgloss.Println` (standalone) or return the string in a
   `tea.View`.
6. Check in a real terminal and compare `lipgloss.Size` with the width you
   expected. Wrong colors usually mean output went through `fmt`; a box off by
   its frame usually means `GetFrameSize` was subtracted from `Width`. Fix and
   rerun.

## Mental model

A `Style` is a plain value.  Setters return a new value, so you build
styles by chaining and derive variants without mutating the base.  `Render`
turns a style plus text into a string carrying ANSI escape codes.  Nothing
else happens until that string reaches a terminal.

`Render` always emits full color; downsampling to what the terminal
supports happens at output.  Inside Bubble Tea v2 that is automatic.
Standalone, print through Lip Gloss
(see the [basics example](https://github.com/tpscloud/charmedimsure/blob/main/examples/charmed-lipgloss/basics/main.go)):

```go
// examples/charmed-lipgloss/basics/main.go
title := lipgloss.NewStyle().
    Bold(true).
    Foreground(lipgloss.Color("#FAFAFA")).
    Background(lipgloss.Color("#7D56F4")).
    Padding(0, 1)

card := lipgloss.NewStyle().
    Border(lipgloss.RoundedBorder()).
    BorderForeground(lipgloss.Color("63")).
    Padding(1, 2).
    Width(40)

body := lipgloss.NewStyle().Italic(true).Faint(true)
warning := body.Faint(false).Italic(false).Foreground(lipgloss.Yellow) // body unchanged

lipgloss.Println(card.Render(title.Render("Lip Gloss v2") + "\n\n" + body.Render("...")))
```

`lipgloss.Print`, `Println`, `Printf`, `Fprint*`, and `Sprint*` all
downsample.  `fmt.Println` does not.  The default writer targets stdout;
for stderr use `lipgloss.Fprintln(os.Stderr, s)` or reassign
`lipgloss.Writer`.

## Colors

`lipgloss.Color(s)` is a function returning `image/color.Color`.  It accepts
hex (`"#7D56F4"`) or an ANSI index (`"212"`, `"5"`).  The sixteen basic
colors have names: `lipgloss.Red`, `lipgloss.BrightGreen`, and so on.  Any
`color.Color` works, so `color.RGBA{...}` from the standard library is
fine too.

Style setters take `color.Color`: `Foreground`, `Background`,
`BorderForeground`, `BorderBackground`, `UnderlineColor`, `MarginBackground`.

Helpers from the [colors example](https://github.com/tpscloud/charmedimsure/blob/main/examples/charmed-lipgloss/colors/main.go)
(the gradient uses `strings.Builder`).  `lipgloss.Alpha(c, 0.5)` also
exists and sets a color's alpha on a 0 to 1 scale:

```go
// examples/charmed-lipgloss/colors/main.go
base := lipgloss.Color("#7D56F4")
lipgloss.Lighten(base, 0.3)          // tint by 30 percent
lipgloss.Darken(base, 0.3)
lipgloss.Complementary(base)

// One color per rune from a two stop gradient. Index runes, not bytes:
// ranging over the string would sample at UTF-8 byte offsets.
word := "gradient"
runes := []rune(word)
stops := lipgloss.Blend1D(len(runes), lipgloss.Color("#FF5F87"), lipgloss.Color("#5FD7FF"))
var b strings.Builder
for i, r := range runes {
    b.WriteString(lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(stops[i]).Render(string(r)))
}

// Gradient borders are a style setting.
lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.RoundedBorder()).
    BorderForegroundBlend(lipgloss.Color("#FF5F87"), lipgloss.Color("#5FD7FF"))
```

`Blend2D(width, height, angle, stops...)` fills a rectangle.  The gradient
loop above colors per rune; wide characters and combining marks occupy
cells differently, so for cell accurate gradients split by grapheme and
measure with `lipgloss.Width`.

### Light and dark backgrounds

Decide once whether the background is dark, then pick colors with
`LightDark`.  Standalone, as in the
[adaptive example](https://github.com/tpscloud/charmedimsure/blob/main/examples/charmed-lipgloss/adaptive/main.go):

```go
// examples/charmed-lipgloss/adaptive/main.go
isDark := lipgloss.HasDarkBackground(os.Stdin, os.Stdout)   // queries the terminal
lightDark := lipgloss.LightDark(isDark)
fg := lightDark(lipgloss.Color("#1A1A1A"), lipgloss.Color("#F0F0F0")) // (light, dark)

profile := colorprofile.Detect(os.Stdout, os.Environ())
complete := lipgloss.Complete(profile)
brand := complete(lipgloss.Color("5"), lipgloss.Color("170"), lipgloss.Color("#D75FEE")) // (ansi, ansi256, truecolor)
```

Call `HasDarkBackground` before printing anything else; it exchanges an
escape sequence with the terminal.  Inside Bubble Tea, return
`tea.RequestBackgroundColor` from `Init` and read `msg.IsDark()` from the
`tea.BackgroundColorMsg` (see charmed-bubbletea).

## Text decoration

`Bold`, `Italic`, `Faint`, `Blink`, `Reverse`, `Strikethrough`,
`Underline(bool)`, `UnderlineStyle(lipgloss.UnderlineCurly)` (also
`UnderlineSingle`, `UnderlineDouble`, `UnderlineDotted`, `UnderlineDashed`,
`UnderlineNone`), and `UnderlineColor`.  `Hyperlink(url)` emits an OSC 8
link where the terminal supports it.  `Transform(func(string) string)` runs
on the text at render time (uppercase, truncation).

Style part of a string you already have. `StyleRanges` uses terminal-cell
offsets; `StyleRunes` uses rune indexes. The colors example uses ASCII, where
byte and cell offsets coincide:

```go
// excerpt: StyleRanges appears in examples/charmed-lipgloss/colors/main.go; StyleRunes has no example
lipgloss.StyleRanges(s, lipgloss.NewRange(start, end, lipgloss.NewStyle().Reverse(true)))
lipgloss.StyleRunes(s, []int{0, 3, 5}, matchedStyle, unmatchedStyle)
```

## Box model

Order from the inside out: content, padding, border, margin.

- `Padding(v...)` and `Margin(v...)` take one to four ints in CSS order
  (all; vertical horizontal; top horizontal bottom; top right bottom left).
  Single sides: `PaddingLeft`, `MarginTop`, and so on.  `PaddingChar` and
  `MarginChar` change the fill rune.
- `Width(n)` and `Height(n)` set the size of the block before margins:
  padding and border are inside that number, margins are outside it.  Text
  wraps at the width minus horizontal padding and border.  Measured with
  the pinned module: `Width(10).Padding(0, 1).Border(NormalBorder())`
  renders exactly 10 cells wide; adding `Margin(0, 1)` makes it 12.
  `MaxWidth` and `MaxHeight` truncate instead.
- `Align(pos)` or `AlignHorizontal` and `AlignVertical` position text inside
  a fixed box.  Positions are floats from 0 to 1 with names `Left`,
  `Center`, `Right`, `Top`, `Bottom`.
- `Border(b, sides...)` sets the border and optionally which sides.  Built
  in borders: `NormalBorder`, `RoundedBorder`, `ThickBorder`,
  `DoubleBorder`, `BlockBorder`, `OuterHalfBlockBorder`,
  `InnerHalfBlockBorder`, `HiddenBorder` (takes space, draws nothing),
  `ASCIIBorder`, `MarkdownBorder`.  Per side toggles `BorderTop(bool)`
  etc, per side colors `BorderTopForeground` etc.
- `Inline(true)` strips newlines and disables padding, borders, and
  margins, for a single line.
- `Inherit(other)` copies unset properties from another style. Margins,
  padding, hyperlinks, and the underlying text are not inherited; an
  inherited background also becomes the margin background unless one is
  set.
- `SetString(s)` attaches default text so `style.String()` renders it.

Every setter has a `Get*` and an `Unset*`.  `GetFrameSize()` returns the
horizontal and vertical space taken by padding, border, and margin together.
Use it to find the content area inside a decorated box, or to size a child
you render yourself inside a parent's frame.  A box meant to fill `w` cells
is `Width(w - GetHorizontalMargins())`, and the text inside it gets
`w - GetHorizontalFrameSize()` cells.

## Measuring, joining, placing

Measure with `lipgloss.Width`, `Height`, or `Size`, which count terminal
cells and ignore escape codes
(see the [layout example](https://github.com/tpscloud/charmedimsure/blob/main/examples/charmed-lipgloss/layout/main.go)):

```go
// examples/charmed-lipgloss/layout/main.go
box := lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.NormalBorder()).Padding(0, 1)
left := box.Width(20).Render("left column\nwith two lines")
right := box.Width(24).Render("right column")

row := lipgloss.JoinHorizontal(lipgloss.Top, left, right)       // side by side
footer := lipgloss.NewStyle().Faint(true).Render("joined with JoinVertical")
page := lipgloss.JoinVertical(lipgloss.Center, row, footer)     // stacked

w, h := lipgloss.Size(page)
framed := lipgloss.Place(w+10, h+4, lipgloss.Center, lipgloss.Center, page,
    lipgloss.WithWhitespaceChars("."),
    lipgloss.WithWhitespaceStyle(lipgloss.NewStyle().Faint(true)),
)

centered := lipgloss.NewStyle().Width(30).Align(lipgloss.Center).Render("centered text")
long := "Lip Gloss wraps at word boundaries and preserves ANSI sequences across the break."
lipgloss.Println(lipgloss.Wrap(long, 30, "")) // word wrap, preserves ANSI and links
```

`JoinHorizontal` takes a vertical alignment for blocks of different height;
`JoinVertical` takes a horizontal alignment.  `Place`, `PlaceHorizontal`,
and `PlaceVertical` pad a block out to a size; in Bubble Tea, feed them the
values from `tea.WindowSizeMsg`.

## Overlays, tables, trees, and lists

- Read [references/overlays.md](references/overlays.md) for layers, the
  compositor, Z order, and mouse hit testing (a modal over a full screen
  view).
- Read [references/tables.md](references/tables.md) for static tables:
  borders, `StyleFunc` and the header row index, data sources, and windowing.
- Read [references/trees-and-lists.md](references/trees-and-lists.md) for
  trees, nested lists, enumerators, and per item styling.

## Migrating from v1

Read [references/migration.md](references/migration.md) for the v1 to v2
mapping table (renderer removal, `Color` as a function, `AdaptiveColor` and
the `compat` package, whitespace options) and the steps to check a migrated
program.

## Mistakes that cost time

- Measuring with `len(s)` or `utf8.RuneCountInString`.  Use
  `lipgloss.Width`; escape codes and wide runes both break the byte count.
- Calling `HasDarkBackground` inside a running Bubble Tea program.  It
  fights the renderer for the terminal.  Use the message instead.
