colorado

#colorado

ridiculously simple console string styling in nodejs.

aside: named after a cool state

###Install

npm install colorado

###Usage

var colorado = require('colorado');

colorado is a function that takes any number of strings as arguments.

Pass in a string to add plain text:

var boring = colorado('blah');
console.log(boring); // is boring

Use double handlebars to specify styles (comma separated):

var dangerous = colorado('{{red,bold,blink}}danger!');
console.log(dangerous); // made you look

If you already know the code number for a style, pass it as a number:

var justAsDangerous = colorado('{{31,1,5}}danger!');
console.log(justAsDangerous); // remarkably similar

You can inline a whole bunch of them, and mix and match names and code numbers:

var obviouslyPractical = colorado('{{blue,104}}blue{{blink}}flashing{{1,49}}emphasized{{reset}}normal')
console.log(obviouslyPractical); // trés artistique

Styles are reset between each string passed:

var cuteStory = colorado(
  'I was reading all this boring text and then... ',
  '{{bold,yellow,redBG}} BAM! ',
  '{{36}} everything looked cyan to me...'
);
console.log(cuteStory); // very anecdotal
