chalkformat v0.0.4

chalkformat

formatted console logging with chalk for Node.js

Usage

var parseFormats = require("chalkformat");

var logger = parseFormats([
   {value:'[', styles:'bold.red'},
   {value:'ERROR', styles:'bold.yellow'},
   {value:']', styles:'bold.red'},
   {value:'$0',styles:'bold.cyan'}
]);

console.log(logger('oops, I did it again'));

which would result in this:

Each format block is a value that is printed out, and a chalk style string. if you specify a value with '$n', where n is a number, then a function argument is used for output. In the example. the last format block uses $0, which would print out the first argument passed to the generated function.

Styles can be chained. just separate them with periods. The example above is using both a bold and a color style on each value.

If the style string is not a valid chalk style, or empty, then the value in the format object is returned unmodified.
