console.echo v0.0.3

Console.Echo

A simple terminal string prettyfier with a readable interface.

Install

    npm install console.echo

Usage

    let echo = require("console.echo");

    echo.blueBg.white.bold.text("Hello world!");

Obs All the methods are NOT case sensitive. Feel free to use whatever feels right for you.

Writing

There are two methods to print to the terminal:

• text(): Simply prints to the terminal
• dd(): Prints to the terminal and exits the process (good for debugging =))

The strings are formatted by the chained methods before it. These methods accept multiple arguments which will be printed joined by a whitespace.

    echo.text("hello", "world"); // prints => "hello world"

Text align

If you need to print a full line use:

• left(): Prints full line with text aligned to the left
• right(): Prints full line with text aligned to the right
• center(): Prints full line with text aligned to the center

A second argument can be passed which sets the length of the line.

Blank line

If you need a full blank line use:

• line(): Prints a full blank line

A first argument can be passed which sets the length of the line.

Colors

Choose between 16 colors:

• black
• red
• green
• yellow
• blue
• magenta
• cyan
• lgrey
• grey
• lred
• lgreen
• lyellow
• lblue
• lmagenta
• lcyan
• white

Background

To change the background color, chain the name of the color with Bg at the end before the text method:

    echo.redBg.text("Red background");

    echo.magentaBg.text("Magenta background");

Font color

To change the background color, chain the color name before the text method.:

    echo.green.text("Green text");

    echo.cyan.text("Cyan text");

Text modifiers

• bold
• dim
• underline
• blink
• inverse
• hidden

To use text modifiers just chain them on the string before the text method:

    echo.bold.text("Bold text");

    echo.undeline.text("Underlined text");

Helpers

There are three helpers:

• reset: Resets the style to the termal's default.
• break: Adds a line break \n and jumps to the next line.
• tab: Adds a tab \t.

To use them, just chain them along:

    echo.text("Line break after the text").break;

    echo.redBg.tab.text("Tab brefore text (with red background)")

Chain away

You can go crazy and chain multiple strings and styles:

    echo.redBg.text("The message")
        .blueBg.text("This is on the same line as 'The message'");

    echo.blueBg.red.text("A red text with blue bg!")
        .break.tab
        .lredBg.cyan.text("A cyan text with light red bg (on the next line)!");
