> **Create beautiful boxes in the terminal using Python**

This package is a Python "port" of the popular NPM package [boxen](https://github.com/sindresorhus/boxen/).

It's built on top of [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich/), and features an API that would be familiar to the users of the NPM boxen package.

## 🛠️ Install

Using [pip](https://pypi.org/)

```text
pip install pyboxen
```

---

## 🔗 Usage

- Simplest of simple boxes

```py
from pyboxen import boxen

print(boxen("Python is cool!"))
```

- Define options

```py
from pyboxen import boxen

print(
    boxen(
        "Python is cool!",
        padding=1,
        margin=1,
        color="cyan",
    )
)
```

- Multiple texts and [Rich Renderables](https://github.com/Textualize/rich#rich-library)

> You can even use Rich's special color style syntax for the text, title and subtitle as well
>
> Example: `[red]Hello[/red] [bold italic]World[/]`

```py
from pyboxen import boxen

# Multiple texts

print(
    boxen(
        "Python is cool!",
        "Yeah it totally is!",
        "I [red]:heart:[/red]  [yellow bold]Python[/]!",  # You can even use Rich syntax here too!
        padding=1,
        margin=1,
        color="cyan",
    )
)

# Rich renderables, with a mix of strings and renderables

from rich.table import Table

table = Table(show_header=True, header_style="bold magenta")

table.add_column("Date", style="dim", width=12)
table.add_column("Title")
table.add_column("Production Budget", justify="right")
table.add_column("Box Office", justify="right")
table.add_row(
    "Dec 20, 2019", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", "$275,000,000", "$375,126,118"
)
table.add_row(
    "May 25, 2018",
    "[red]Solo[/red]: A Star Wars Story",
    "$275,000,000",
    "$393,151,347",
)
table.add_row(
    "Dec 15, 2017",
    "Star Wars Ep. VIII: The Last Jedi",
    "$262,000,000",
    "[bold]$1,332,539,889[/bold]",
)

print(
    boxen(
        "Python is cool!",
        table
    )
)
```

    boxen(
        "Titles and subtitles!",
        title="Hello, [black on cyan] World [/]",
        subtitle="Cool subtitle goes here",

        color="yellow",
        padding=1,
    )
)
```

```py

padding: Union[int, tuple[int]] = 0,
margin: Union[int, tuple[int]] = 0,
text_alignment: Literal["left", "center", "right"] = "center",
box_alignment: Literal["left", "center", "right"] = "left",
title: str = None,
title_alignment: Literal["left", "center", "right"] = "left",
subtitle: str = None,
subtitle_alignment: Literal["left", "center", "right"] = "left",
fullwidth: bool = False,
```

#### color

The color of the box in color or hex code starting with #, defaults to white

#### style

The style of the box, defaults to rounded

#### padding

The padding between the text and the box in int or tuple of ints, defaults to 0

#### margin

The margin around the box in int or tuple of ints, defaults to 0

#### text_alignment

The alignment of the text inside the box, defaults to center

#### box_alignment

The alignment of the box in the terminal, defaults to left

> **Note**
> `padding` and `margin` attributes can be either an int, a tuple of ints (with a total of either 2 elements or 4 elements)
> Example:
>
> `2` - all of top, right, bottom, left
>
> `(2, 4)` - (top = bottom, right = left)
>
> `(2, 4, 6, 8)` - (top, right, bottom, left)
