Package Exports
- colors-cli
- colors-cli/safe
- colors-cli/toxic
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (colors-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Basic usage:
Output colored text:
var color = require('colors-cli')
console.log( color.red('hello') )
Best way is to predefine needed stylings and then use it:
var color = require('colors-cli/safe')
var error = color.red.bold;
var warn = color.yellow;
var notice = color.blue;
console.log(error('Error!'));
console.log(warn('Warning'));
console.log(notice('Notice'));
Styles can be mixed:
var color = require('colors-cli/safe')
console.log('=>', color.red.bold.underline('hello') )
console.log('=>', color.magenta_bt.underline('hello ' + color.blue_bt('wo' + color.yellow_bt.magenta_bbt('r') + 'ld') + ' !!!!'));
console.log('=>', color.magenta_bt.underline('hello ' + color.blue_bt('wo' + color.yellow_bt.magenta_bbt('r'))));
console.log('=>', color.magenta_bt.underline('hello ' + color.blue_bt('world') + ' !!!!' + color.yellow('kenny') + ' wong' ));
var color = require('colors-cli/safe')
require('colors-cli/toxic')
console.log('=> ' + color.underline('$ ' + 'npm'.magenta.underline + ' install'.yellow.underline + ' colors-cli --save-dev'));
require('colors-cli/toxic')
console.log( 'hello'.green );
console.log( 'hello'.green.black_b.underline );
console.log('=> $'.green + ' npm '.magenta + 'install '.yellow + 'colors-cli'.cyan + ' --save-dev');
