CLI colors

Under development, don't use

Why

Marak/colors – modifies String prototype... facepalm.

SindreSorhus/chalk – overengineered, fluent API sucks at composition

Usage

let {blue, red} = require("cli-colors")

console.log("one " + red("two " + blue("three ") + "four " + blue("five ") + "six ") + "seven")

Use function composition to combine styles:

let {pipe} = require("ramda")
let {bgBlue, white} = require("cli-colors")

let banner = pipe(bgBlue, white)

console.log(banner("============="))
console.log(banner("  H E L L O  "))
console.log(banner("============="))

API

let colors = require("cli-colors")
// or import * as colors from "cli-colors"
