JSPM – yoctocolors-cjs@2.1.2

Package Exports

yoctocolors-cjs
yoctocolors-cjs/index.js

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 (yoctocolors-cjs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

console.log(colors.blue(`Welcome to the ${colors.green('yoctocolors')} package!`));

You can also import colors as named imports:

import {red, blue, green} from 'yoctocolors';

console.log(red('Yo!'));

console.log(blue(`Welcome to the ${green('yoctocolors')} package!`));

This package supports basic color detection. Colors can be forcefully enabled by setting the FORCE_COLOR environment variable to 1 and can be forcefully disabled by setting NO_COLOR or NODE_DISABLE_COLORS to any value. More info.
