escprint v1.0.2

escprint

A minimalist package for styling command line outputs

Usage

prnt function

• Use <style...> to add that style to the current output style
• Use </style...> to reset the output style and then set the style to whatever is in the tag
• Use </> to reset the output style
• Use a , to deliminate multiple styles

Example

import {prnt} from "escprint";

prnt(`
    This is normal 
    <cyan> this is cyan 
    <underline> this is cyan and underlined 
    </green> this is just green 
    </> this is normal again
`);

// use "," to use multiple styles

prnt(`
    <red,underline> This is red and underlined
    </italic> This is just italic 
`);

The prnt function automatically resets the command line styles after it has been called.

Importing Styles Directly

If you don't feel like using the prnt function, you can import the styles directly and use them in a console.log or other functions;

Don't forget to reset the styles after using them

import {BLUE,UNDERLINE,X,YELLOW} from "escprint"; 

// X means reset styles
console.log(`
    This is normal 
    ${BLUE} This is blue
    ${UNDERLINE} this is blue and underlined
    ${X+YELLOW} this is just yellow
    ${X}
`);

or

import readline from "readline";
import {CYAN,X} from "escprint"; 

const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
});

const prompt = `${CYAN}What is your name? ${X}`; 

rl.question(prompt, (input) => {
    rl.close();
    resolve(input);
});
