TerminalCapabilities class

Detects terminal capabilities for ANSI color support.

This class provides automatic detection of whether the current environment supports ANSI escape codes for colored output.

Usage:

if (TerminalCapabilities.supportsAnsiColors) {
  print('\x1B[32mGreen text\x1B[0m');
} else {
  print('Plain text');
}

Platform behavior:

  • iOS/Android: Returns false (Xcode/Logcat don't render ANSI)
  • macOS/Linux terminal: Returns true
  • Windows: Checks for modern terminal support
  • Web: Returns false
