  bool: true,
};

const formattedString = yamlifyObject(obj, {
  colors: {
    number: (value) => `COLOR_CODE${value}COLOR_CODE`,
    boolean: (value) => `COLOR_CODE${value}COLOR_CODE`,
  },
});

console.log(formattedString);
/*
 number: COLOR_CODE1COLOR_CODE
 string: str
 bool: COLOR_CODEtrueCOLOR_CODE
