Usage

By popular demand, @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore now ships with two types of usages!

The super nifty way

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore');

console.log('hello'.green); // outputs green text
console.log('i like cake and pies'.underline.red); // outputs red underlined text
console.log('inverse the color'.inverse); // inverses the color
console.log('OMG Rainbows!'.rainbow); // rainbow
console.log('Run the trap'.trap); // Drops the bass

or a slightly less nifty way which doesn't extend String.prototype

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore/safe');

console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.green('hello')); // outputs green text
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.red.underline('i like cake and pies')); // outputs red underlined text
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.inverse('inverse the color')); // inverses the color
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.rainbow('OMG Rainbows!')); // rainbow
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.trap('Run the trap')); // Drops the bass

I prefer the first way. Some people seem to be afraid of extending String.prototype and prefer the second way.

If you are writing good code you will never have an issue with the first approach. If you really don't want to touch String.prototype, the second usage will not touch String native object.

Enabling/Disabling Colors

The package will auto-detect whether your terminal can use @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore and enable/disable accordingly. When @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore are disabled, the color functions do nothing. You can override this with a command-line flag:

node myapp.js --no-color
node myapp.js --color=false

node myapp.js --color
node myapp.js --color=true
node myapp.js --color=always

FORCE_COLOR=1 node myapp.js

Or in code:

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore');
@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.enable();
@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.disable();

Console.log string substitution

var name = 'Marak';
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.green('Hello %s'), name);
// outputs -> 'Hello Marak'

Custom themes

Using standard API

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore');

@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.setTheme({
  silly: 'rainbow',
  input: 'grey',
  verbose: 'cyan',
  prompt: 'grey',
  info: 'green',
  data: 'grey',
  help: 'cyan',
  warn: 'yellow',
  debug: 'blue',
  error: 'red'
});

// outputs red text
console.log("this is an error".error);

// outputs yellow text
console.log("this is a warning".warn);

Using string safe API

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore/safe');

// set single property
var error = @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.red;
error('this is red');

// set theme
@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.setTheme({
  silly: 'rainbow',
  input: 'grey',
  verbose: 'cyan',
  prompt: 'grey',
  info: 'green',
  data: 'grey',
  help: 'cyan',
  warn: 'yellow',
  debug: 'blue',
  error: 'red'
});

// outputs red text
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.error("this is an error"));

// outputs yellow text
console.log(@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore.warn("this is a warning"));

Combining Colors

var @devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore = require('@devtea2027/odit-ad-quisquam-tempore');
