let qtc = new QuickTextColor()

console.log(`This is a ${qtc.FgYellow}Yellow Test${qtc.Reset}. Test out`);

Results:

This is a Yellow Test. Test out

Example using dot-notation in a string

const QuickTextColor = require('../src/QuickTextColor');

Miscellany

Near Future to-dos

Parse multiple color codes...only handle 1 dot-code per line and only FG color (yellow or blue)

Define dot-code for separate FG/BG/Other codes

Version History

0.0.1 - Initial build to ensure dot-codes are doable
