Package description
The figures npm package provides a set of unicode symbols with fallbacks to ASCII characters for better compatibility across different platforms. It allows developers to enhance the visual appeal and readability of their console output without worrying about cross-platform issues.
Cross-platform symbols
This feature allows the use of symbols like ticks and crosses, with automatic fallbacks to simpler ASCII characters on platforms that do not support the more complex unicode symbols. The code sample demonstrates how to use the tick and cross symbols.
"use strict";\nconst figures = require('figures');\nconsole.log(figures.tick, figures.cross);
Customizable symbol fallbacks
Developers can customize the fallbacks for symbols, providing an alternative character for environments that do not support the default unicode symbol. This code sample shows how to replace the default tick symbol with a custom character.
"use strict";\nconst figures = require('figures');\nfigures.replace({ tick: '√' });\nconsole.log(figures.tick);
Chalk is a popular npm package for styling terminal strings. While it focuses on adding color and style to text, figures focuses on providing cross-platform symbols. Both packages enhance the visual output of console applications but in different aspects.
The emoji package allows for the inclusion of emojis in Node.js applications. Similar to figures, it enhances the visual aspect of console output but does so through emojis rather than symbols. Figures provides a more subtle way of enhancing output with symbols that have fallbacks for better compatibility.

Unicode symbols with fallbacks for older terminals
Terminals such as Windows Console Host (and CMD) only support a limited character set.

import figures, {replaceSymbols, mainSymbols, fallbackSymbols} from 'figures';
console.log(figures.tick);
// On terminals with Unicode symbols: ✔︎
// On other terminals: √
console.log(figures.mainSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals: ✔︎
console.log(figures.fallbackSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals: √
console.log(figures.replaceSymbols('✔︎ check'));
// On terminals with Unicode symbols: ✔︎ check
// On other terminals: √ check
