The @colors/colors, also known as "colors.js", is a Node.js library that enables color and style to be added to the console output. It provides a variety of colors and styles, including bright text colors, background colors, and text modifiers like underline or strikethrough. The library also includes some fun extras like rainbow and zebra color schemes.
To use @colors/colors, you must first install the package using npm with the command npm install @colors/colors. Once installed, you can require the package in your Node.js script and start to use the provided colors and styles.
There are two ways to use the color methods: the first way extends String.prototype, allowing you to use the color and style methods directly on the string:
var colors = require('@colors/colors');
console.log('hello'.green); // outputs green text
console.log('Run the trap'.trap); // outputs trap text
The second way is slightly less intuitive but doesn't extend String.prototype:
var colors = require('@colors/colors/safe');
console.log(colors.green('hello')); // outputs green text
console.log(colors.trap('Run the trap')); // same output as above
You can also define custom themes and utilize string substitutions with this package.
