Usage

console.log(colorred.red.underline('i like cake and pies')); // outputs red underlined text
console.log(colorred.inverse('inverse the color')); // inverses the color
console.log(colorred.rainbow('OMG Rainbows!')); // rainbow
console.log(colorred.trap('Run the trap')); // Drops the bass

Enabling/Disabling Colors

The package will auto-detect whether your terminal can use colors and enable/disable accordingly. When colors are disabled, the color functions do nothing. You can override this with a command-line flag:

node myapp.js --no-color
node myapp.js --color=false

node myapp.js --color
node myapp.js --color=true
node myapp.js --color=always

FORCE_COLOR=1 node myapp.js

Or in code:

var colorred = require('colorred');
colorred.enable();
colorred.disable();

Custom themes

var colorred = require('colorred');

// set single property
var error = ### Using string safe API.red;
error('this is red');

// set theme
colorred.setTheme({
  silly: 'rainbow',
  input: 'grey',
  verbose: 'cyan',
  prompt: 'grey',
  info: 'green',
  data: 'grey',
  help: 'cyan',
  warn: 'yellow',
  debug: 'blue',
  error: 'red'
});

// outputs red text
console.log(colorred.error("this is an error"));

// outputs yellow text
console.log(colorred.warn("this is a warning"));
