Chalk





Expressive styling on terminal string.

Highlights

  • Expressive API
  • 256/TrueColor support
  • Nest styles
  • Auto downgrading to terminal supported color
  • No extensions on String
  • rgb & hsl & hsv & hex
  • Built-in 100+ beautiful colors

Usage

Chalk's API is very similar to chalk -- one of the most popular packages on npm.

print(chalk.cyan.on("cyan"))  // `ck` is an alias to `chalk`

// chainable
print(ck.red.bgBlue.italic.underline.on("red bgBlue italic underline"))

// combine terminal string and string
print(ck.red.on("ERROR") + " something went wrong. " + ck.green.on("but no worry! I will..."))

// rgb & hsl & hsv & hex support
print(ck.fg(.rgb(0, 92, 197)).bg(.hex(0xFA4B8B)).on("meow"))

// custom foreground color and background color with 100+ handpicked colors
print(ck.fg(.darkMagenta).bg(.lightGoldenRodYellow).bold.on("hi"))

// nest
print(ck.magenta.underline.on("begin" + ck.red.bold.on("important") + "end"))
print(ck.magenta.underline.on("begin", ck.red.bold.on("important"), "end"))
