@ngsctt/shadow-box v0.1.1

shadow-box

A basic utility to draw boxes with drop shadows in command line output. Heavily inspired by boxen.

Why

I couldn't find any other packages that produce drop shadows using basic box drawing elements, so I made my own.

How

1. Install the package:

   npm i @ngsctt/shadow-box

   Or, using pnpm:

   pnpm i @ngsctt/shadow-box

2. Require the package:

   const shadowBox = require('@ngsctt/shadow-box');

3. Use the package:

   const text = 'Some text, including ' + chalk.yellowBright('highlights') + ',\n can be used.';
   const shadowBoxOptions = {  // default options:
     background: '#0000ff',
     shadow: '#ff0000',
     padX: 2,
     padY: 1,
     marX: 3,
     marY: 1,
     newLine: '\n',
     padChar: ' ',
     align: 'center'
   };
   
   console.info(shadowBox(text, shadowBoxOptions));
