> Easily add ANSI colors to your text and symbols in the terminal. A faster drop-in replacement for chalk, kleur and turbocolor (without the dependencies and rendering bugs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please consider following this project's author, [Brian Woodward](https://github.com/doowb), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save ansi-colors
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why use this?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ansi-colors is _the fastest Node.js library for terminal styling_. A more performant drop-in replacement for chalk, with no dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* _Blazing fast_ - Fastest terminal styling library in node.js, 10-20x faster than chalk!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* _Drop-in replacement_ for [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk).
|
||
|
|
* _No dependencies_ (Chalk has 7 dependencies in its tree!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* _Safe_ - Does not modify the `String.prototype` like [colors](https://github.com/Marak/colors.js).
|
||
|
|
* Supports [nested colors](#nested-colors), **and does not have the [nested styling bug](#nested-styling-bug) that is present in [colorette](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/colorette), [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk), and [kleur](https://github.com/lukeed/kleur)**.
|
||
|
|
* Supports [chained colors](#chained-colors).
|
||
|
|
* [Toggle color support](#toggle-color-support) on or off.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const c = require('ansi-colors');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.red('This is a red string!'));
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.green('This is a red string!'));
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.cyan('This is a cyan string!'));
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.yellow('This is a yellow string!'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Chained colors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.bold.red('this is a bold red message'));
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.bold.yellow.italic('this is a bold yellow italicized message'));
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.green.bold.underline('this is a bold green underlined message'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Nested colors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.yellow(`foo ${c.red.bold('red')} bar ${c.cyan('cyan')} baz`));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Nested styling bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`ansi-colors` does not have the nested styling bug found in [colorette](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/colorette), [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk), and [kleur](https://github.com/lukeed/kleur).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const { bold, red } = require('ansi-styles');
|
||
|
|
console.log(bold(`foo ${red.dim('bar')} baz`));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const colorette = require('colorette');
|
||
|
|
console.log(colorette.bold(`foo ${colorette.red(colorette.dim('bar'))} baz`));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const kleur = require('kleur');
|
||
|
|
console.log(kleur.bold(`foo ${kleur.red.dim('bar')} baz`));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const chalk = require('chalk');
|
||
|
|
console.log(chalk.bold(`foo ${chalk.red.dim('bar')} baz`));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Results in the following**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(sans icons and labels)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Toggle color support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Easily enable/disable colors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const c = require('ansi-colors');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// disable colors manually
|
||
|
|
c.enabled = false;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// or use a library to automatically detect support
|
||
|
|
c.enabled = require('color-support').hasBasic;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.red('I will only be colored red if the terminal supports colors'));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Strip ANSI codes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the `.unstyle` method to strip ANSI codes from a string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
console.log(c.unstyle(c.blue.bold('foo bar baz')));
|
||
|
|
//=> 'foo bar baz'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
