cli-color
Yet another colors and formatting for the console solution
Colors, formatting and other goodies for the console. This package won't mess with built-ins and provides neat way to predefine formatting patterns, see below.
Installation
$ npm install cli-color
Usage
Usage:
var clc = require('cli-color');
Output colored text:
console.log(clc.red('Text in red'));
Styles can be mixed:
console.log(clc.red.bgWhite.underline('Underlined red text on white background.'));
Styled text can be mixed with unstyled:
console.log(clc.red('red') + ' plain ' + clc.blue('blue'));
Styled text can be nested:
console.log(clc.red('red ' + clc.blue('blue') + ' red'));
Best way is to predefine needed stylings and then use it:
var error = clc.red.bold;
var warn = clc.yellow;
var notice = clc.blue;
console.log(error('Error!'));
console.log(warn('Warning'));
console.log(notice('Notice'));
Supported are all ANSI colors and styles:
Styles
Styles will display correctly if font used in your console supports them.
- bold
- italic
- underline
- blink
- inverse
- strike

xTerm colors (256 colors table)
Not supported on Windows and some terminals. However if used in not supported environment, the closest color from basic (16 colors) palette is chosen.
Usage:
var msg = clc.xterm(202).bgXterm(236);
console.log(msg('Orange text on dark gray background'));

Additional functionalities
clc.slice(str[, begin[, end]])
Slice provided string with preservation of eventual ANSI formatting
var clc = require('cli-color');
var str = clc.bold('foo') + 'bar' + clc.red('elo');
var sliced = clc.slice(str, 1, 7); // Same as: clc.bold('oo') + 'bar' + clc.red('e')
clc.strip(formatedText)
Strips ANSI formatted string to plain text
var ansiStrip = require('cli-color/strip');
var plain = ansiStrip(formatted);
clc.getStrippedLength(str)
Get actual length of ANSI-formatted string
var clc = require('cli-color');
var str = clc.bold('foo') + 'bar' + clc.red('elo');
clc.getStrippedLength(str); // 9
clc.art(text, styleConf)
Create a text-graphical art. Within styleConf
, string replacements needs to be defined, which are then used to convert text
to styled graphical text.
var text = '.........\n' +
'. Hello .\n' +
'.........\n';
var style = { ".": clc.yellowBright("X") };
process.stdout.write(clc.art(text, style));
clc.columns(data[, options])
Outputs aligned table of columns.
data
is expected to be an array (or other iterable structure) of rows, where each row is also an array (or other iterable structure) of content to display.
Supported options
:
sep
: Custom colums separator (defaults to|
)columns
: Per column customizations, as e.g.[{ align: 'right' }, null, { align: 'left' }]
:align
: Possible options:'left'
,'right
(efaults to'left'
)
var clc = require('cli-color');
process.stdout.write(clc.columns([
[clc.bold('First Name'), clc.bold('Last Name'), clc.bold('Age')],
['John', 'Doe', 34],
['Martha', 'Smith', 20],
['Jan', 'Kowalski', 30]
]));
/* Outputs:
First Name | Last Name | Age
John | Doe | 34
Martha | Smith | 20
Jan | Kowalski | 30
*/
throbber(write, interval[, format])
Writes throbber string to write function at given interval. Optionally throbber output can be formatted with given format function
var setupThrobber = require('cli-color/throbber');
var throbber = setupThrobber(function (str) {
process.stdout.write(str);
}, 200);
throbber.start();
// at any time you can stop/start throbber
throbber.stop();
