Readme
cute-print
is an alternative to well-known libraries like chalk which focus on less typing, more readability and confort of use.
Note that colors will not display on windows console. If you work on windows, you should really consider using an external terminal tool like cmder or hyper.
Also see cute-dump if you need to pretty-dump an object.
Import print
:
import { print } from 'cute-print'
Print a colored value :
print `Hello [red: world]!`
print `Hello [red.bgWhite: world]!`
const who = 'world'
print `Hello [green.bold:${who}]!`
// the default style is 'bold'. Both are identical :
print `Hello [:${who}]!`
print `Hello [bold:${who}]!`
You can nest colors - although it becomes easily complex : (you should consider using the next syntax)
print `Hello [red: world and [bold:universe]]!`
You can use a tag without the :
- that will affect the string up to the end.
print `Hello [red] world and [bold] universe!`
You can use [reset]
to reset the style :
print `Hello [red.bold] world and [reset] universe!`
You can also use a default styling for the whole string :
print.red `Hello red world!`
print.red.bgWhite `Hello red world on white background!`
Printing on the error
or warning
streams :
print.warn `You are a cute dangerous guy`
print.error `Something wrong happened`
print.error.red `Something wrong happened`
Remember that every library has its pros and cons - and everyone has its own preferences.
chalk
has support for true colorschalk
can be used to manipulate any strings where cute-print
purpose is only to print in the consolecute-print
has no dependenciescute-print
is written in Typescript and so can be used in any Typescript project with zero effortcute-print
has a cleaner syntax :The exemples are actually from my own code. I had a lot of logs to do and the syntax started to be painful so I decided to create this utilitary library.
// chalk : 74 characters (~ +50%)
console.log(chalk.green('\n-' + chalk.bold(' The mole starts to sniff!')))
// cute-print : 50 characters
print.green `\n- [bold] The mole starts to sniff!`
// chalk : 58 characters (~ +25%)
console.log(chalk.blueBright('Entities :'), total - empty)
// cute-print : 46 characters
print.brightBlue `Entities : ${total - empty}`
You can mix any tag anytime by using a dot .
as separator.
