Quick.logs NPM

quick.logs

Quick.logs is a small and simple npm package to make your console look more beautiful. It is aimed at users new to coding for a simpler approach than other packages like colors, which need extended code.

Installation

npm i quick.logs --save

Make sure the package name is plural, otherwise you will download a different package.

Basic Examples

If something happened successfully...

const quick = require('quick.logs');

quick.success('Hooray! Everything worked successfully.');

If an error occurred...

const quick = require('quick.logs');

myFunction().catch(e => quick.error(e));
// .error() only logs in magenta text. If you would like to use red text, use .fatal() instead.

Get a reminder...

const quick = require('quick.logs');

quick.info('The server IP is 123.45.678.90, remember that!');

Color Examples

Say something in cyan text...

const quick = require('quick.logs');

quick.cyan('Hello world!');
