Demo

Examples

Setup

require("colorplus").enable();
console.log("This is ", "Color".red, "Plus".yellow, "Test");

Usage

Change the background color by prefix "bg"

console.log("Background".bggreen, "color".bgcyan, "test".bgyellow);

Use operator+ to avoid extra spaces in console.log

console.log("Background".bggreen + "color".bgcyan + "test".bgyellow);

Mix color and bgcolor

console.log(" ~ WARNING COLOR ~".bgred.yellow);

You may use colorplus.js to produce ansi color code.

var cp = require("colorplus").enable();
console.log(cp.bggreen, "Background", cp.bgcyan, "color", cp.bgyellow, "test", cp.r);
console.log(cp.bggreen + "Background" + cp.bgcyan + "color" + cp.bgyellow + "test" + cp.r);
console.log(cp.bgred, cp.yellow, " ~ WARNING COLOR ~", cp.r);

Setup without modifying String.prototype

Only when you don't want colorplus adds attributes to your String :

var cp = require("colorplus");
console.log("This is", cp.yellow, "Color", cp.red, "Plus", cp.r, "Test");

Todo list

• (Done) I'm planning to apply the function to String.prototype. So you may use String("test").red to color it.
• DarkColor (document not ready yet)
• CustomCode (document not ready yet)

Feel free to improve this module by give me suggestion or pull requests.
