style

colors.js - get color and style in your node.js console like what

   var sys = require('sys');
   var style = require('style');

   sys.puts(style('hello').green); // outputs green text
   sys.puts(style('i like cake and pies').underline.red) // outputs red underlined text
   sys.puts(style('inverse the color').inverse); // inverses the color
   sys.puts(style('OMG Rainbows!').rainbow); // rainbow (ignores spaces)
   

##disable style, for plain output

   style = require('style').enable(false) //... which you may want to do at some point!
   
   sys.puts(style('hello').green); // plain text
   sys.puts(style('i like cake and pies').underline.red) // plain text
   sys.puts(style('inverse the color').inverse); // plain text
   sys.puts(style('OMG Rainbows!').rainbow); // plain text
   
   //ALSO: does not monkeypatch string with 13 new properties!
   

ALSO! pad your strings:

style("hello").lpad(20)
"               hello"
style("goodbye").rpad(20,".")
"goodbye.............."

you can even style you padding

style("goodbye").rpad(20,style(".").grey)

style is aware of it self, and will style the pading as one chunk.
when style is disabled, padding will still be the same size.

remove style information:

style.destyle( 'styled string' )
