Install
$ npm install --save kleur
Usage
const kleur = require('kleur');
// basic usage
kleur.red('red text');
// chained methods
kleur.blue.bold.underline('howdy partner');
// nested methods
kleur.bold(`${ kleur.bgRed.white('[ERROR]') } ${ kleur.red.italic('Something happened')}`);
Chained Methods
console.log(kleur.bold.red('this is a bold red message'));
console.log(kleur.bold.italic('this is a bold italicized message'));
console.log(kleur.bold.yellow.bgRed.italic('this is a bold yellow italicized message'));
console.log(kleur.green.bold.underline('this is a bold green underlined message'));
Nested Methods
const { yellow, red, cyan } = require('kleur');
console.log(yellow(`foo ${red.bold('red')} bar ${cyan('cyan')} baz`));
console.log(yellow('foo ' + red.bold('red') + ' bar ' + cyan('cyan') + ' baz'));
Conditional Support
Toggle color support as needed; kleur
assumes it's always enabled.
const kleur = require('kleur');
// manually disable
kleur.enabled = false;
// or use a library to detect support
kleur.enabled = require('color-support').level;
console.log(kleur.red('I will only be colored red if the terminal supports colors'));
API
Any kleur
method returns a String
(when invoked, not chained). It's up to the developer to pass the output to destinations like console.log
, process.stdout.write
, etc.
The methods below are grouped by type for legibility purposes only. They each can be chained or nested with one another.
Colors:
black — red — green — yellow — blue — magenta — cyan — white — gray
Backgrounds:
bgBlack — bgRed — bgGreen — bgYellow — bgBlue — bgMagenta — bgCyan — bgWhite
Modifiers:
reset — bold — dim — italic* — underline — inverse — hidden — strikethrough*
* Not widely supported

Credits
This project was originally inspired by Brian Woodward's awesome ansi-colors
project.
Unlike v1, the latest version(s) of kleur
no longer supports:
- printf-formatting
- variadic function arguments
- multiline text via
\n
or\r
kleur.clear()
method
In addition, kleur
continues to be ship without symbols and bright color variants.
If you need any of these features, please use ansi-colors
instead~!
