🎨 Formatting messages

Tny.colour(colour, string)

colour supports the following strings as values:

Note: When using background colour values the text colour is automatically set to the most contrasting (usually black).

⏳ Loading spinner

Tny.spinner.start(options)

Starts a spinner that shows each frame with a message.

options

• {Array} frames - Each item in array is used as a frame in the animation
• {Number} interval - Time in ms between each frame, defaults to 100
• {String} message - Message to display after animation frame

Stops the spinner and replaces it with the message defined in states using state as the key to find it.

E.g. if states contained values for success and error then using Tny.spinner.stop('success') would display the success message.

Returns time taken with appropriate clock emoji where start is start time (or time taken in ms) and end is end time, both times should be ms from unix epoch.
