ConStyle

A simple and performant console styling library for Node.js.

Constyle provides an easy-to-use API for adding colors, styles (bold, italic, underline, etc.), and background colors to your console output. It's designed to be lightweight and highly optimized for performance.

Installation

npm install constyle@latest

Usage

const style = require('constyle');

console.log(style.red('This is red text.'));
console.log(style.green.bold('This is bold green text.'));
console.log(style.bgBlue.white('This is white text on a blue background.'));
console.log(style.yellow.dim('This is dim yellow text.'));
console.log(style.magenta.italic.underline('This is italic, underlined magenta text.'));
console.log(style.cyan.inverse('This is inversed cyan text.'));
console.log(style.black.hidden('This text is hidden.')); // You won't see this
console.log(style.white.strikethrough('This is strikethrough white text.'));
console.log(style.redBright('This is bright red text.'));
console.log(style.bgGreenBright.black('This is black text on a bright green background.'));
console.log(style.grey('This is grey text'));
console.log(style.bgGrey.black('This is black text on a grey background'));
console.log(style.reset('This text is reset to default.')); // Resets all styles

// Chaining multiple styles:
console.log(style.blue.bold.underline('This is bold, underlined blue text.'));

// Using template literals:
const name = 'World';
console.log(`Hello, ${style.green(name)}!`);
