Console Cute

This is primarily a list of values that can be used to print prettier text to your console. It includes color constants like RED, GREEN and YELLOW and background color constants like BG_BLUE, BG_CYAN, and BG_WHITE. It also contains other text decoration constants for your console like ITALIC, BOLD and UNDERLINE. It has three functions, an RGB and BG_RGB function that creates strings for specific RGB values and a PRINT function that trims and allows you to apply styles to text you are printing to the console.

Usage

You can use the colors directly with a console.log function by appending the string values like this:

import {RED, BLUE, BG_WHITE, RESET } from 'consolecute';

console.log(`${RED}This will print RED text.${RESET}`);
console.log(`${BLUE}${BG_WHITE}Blue text on a white background.${RESET});

PRINT function

The PRINT function makes it fairly simple to color text and automatically reset it.

import { PRINT, RED, RESET } from 'consolecute';

PRINT('This will print in RED', RED);

It will also remove all the leading space from multi-line text for when you log from a function.

if( true ) {
    PRINT(`
    ================================================
    The leading space on the left will be removed.
    ================================================
    `);
}

From Rick

This library is pretty simple. I just wanted a list of all the controls strings exported in an index.js file for working on CardTable.com. If you need some help, I'm on Twitter/X @battagline
