Console

Better console :

• Easy colors
• Auto timestamp

Installation

npm i @mathieuc/console

Then:

require('@mathieuc/console')( // Just import the lib
  '§',  // Character you want to use (defaut: '§')
  true, // Active timestamp (defaut: false)
  CORR, // Custom timestamp correction in milliseconds (defaut: 0)
  '94', // Custom timestamp color (defaut: '94' => Light blue)
);

// Then you can use

console.log(...);
console.info(...);
console.warn(...);
console.error(...);

// Bonus: To calculate the necessary CORR, you can use 'Date().getTimezoneOffset()'
// CORR = parseInt(new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60 + 7200, 10) * 1000

Console colors

This lib allows you to use any character as an alias to \x1b[Xm.

Example

If you use '§' as alias,

console.log('\x1b[31mRed \x1b[32mGreen \x1b[33mYellow');

becomes

console.log('§31Red $32Green §33Yellow');

There are two parameters (digits) :

• First is type: it can be 3, 4, 9, 10 or nothing
• Second is color, between 0 and 7

Types :

• X: Formatting
  • 0: Reset
  • 1: Bold
  • 3: Italic
  • 7: Reverse
  • 8: Hidden
• 3X: Colors
• 4X: Background
• 9X : Colors (light)
• 10X: Background (light)

Colors : (3X, 4X, 9X, 10X)

• 0: Black
• 1: Red
• 2: Green
• 3: Yellow
• 4: Blue
• 5: Magenta
• 6: Cyan
• 7: White

Combinations

If you use § as alias, you can combine formatting with font color and background color.

• §3§44§30 => Italic (§3) + Black font (§30) + Blue background (§44)
• §3§104§30 => Italic (§3) + Black font (§30) + Light blue background (§104)
