ansi-colors

Easily add ANSI colors to your text and symbols in the terminal. A faster drop-in replacement for chalk, kleur and turbocolor (without the dependencies and rendering bugs).

Please consider following this project's author, Brian Woodward, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save ansi-colors

Why use this?

ansi-colors is the fastest Node.js library for terminal styling. A more performant drop-in replacement for chalk, with no dependencies.

• Blazing fast - Fastest terminal styling library in node.js, 10-20x faster than chalk!

• Drop-in replacement for chalk.

• No dependencies (Chalk has 7 dependencies in its tree!)

• Safe - Does not modify the String.prototype like colors.

• Supports nested colors, and does not have the nested styling bug that is present in colorette, chalk, and kleur.

• Supports chained colors.

• Toggle color support on or off.

Usage

const c = require('ansi-colors');

console.log(c.red('This is a red string!'));
console.log(c.green('This is a red string!'));
console.log(c.cyan('This is a cyan string!'));
console.log(c.yellow('This is a yellow string!'));

Chained colors

console.log(c.bold.red('this is a bold red message'));
console.log(c.bold.yellow.italic('this is a bold yellow italicized message'));
console.log(c.green.bold.underline('this is a bold green underlined message'));

Nested colors

console.log(c.yellow(`foo ${c.red.bold('red')} bar ${c.cyan('cyan')} baz`));

Nested styling bug

ansi-colors does not have the nested styling bug found in colorette, chalk, and kleur.

const { bold, red } = require('ansi-styles');
console.log(bold(`foo ${red.dim('bar')} baz`));

const colorette = require('colorette');
console.log(colorette.bold(`foo ${colorette.red(colorette.dim('bar'))} baz`));

const kleur = require('kleur');
console.log(kleur.bold(`foo ${kleur.red.dim('bar')} baz`));

const chalk = require('chalk');
console.log(chalk.bold(`foo ${chalk.red.dim('bar')} baz`));

Results in the following

(sans icons and labels)

Toggle color support

Easily enable/disable colors.

const c = require('ansi-colors');

// disable colors manually
c.enabled = false;

// or use a library to automatically detect support
c.enabled = require('color-support').hasBasic;

console.log(c.red('I will only be colored red if the terminal supports colors'));

Strip ANSI codes

Use the .unstyle method to strip ANSI codes from a string.

console.log(c.unstyle(c.blue.bold('foo bar baz')));
//=> 'foo bar baz'

Available styles

Note that bright and bright-background colors are not always supported.

Colors	Background Colors	Bright Colors	Bright Background Colors
black	bgBlack	blackBright	bgBlackBright
red	bgRed	redBright	bgRedBright
green	bgGreen	greenBright	bgGreenBright
yellow	bgYellow	yellowBright	bgYellowBright
blue	bgBlue	blueBright	bgBlueBright
magenta	bgMagenta	magentaBright	bgMagentaBright
cyan	bgCyan	cyanBright	bgCyanBright
white	bgWhite	whiteBright	bgWhiteBright
gray
grey

(gray is the U.S. spelling, grey is more commonly used in the Canada and U.K.)

Style modifiers

• dim

• bold

• hidden

• italic

• underline

• inverse

• strikethrough

• reset

Aliases

Create custom aliases for styles.

const colors = require('ansi-colors');

colors.alias('primary', colors.yellow);
colors.alias('secondary', colors.bold);

console.log(colors.primary.secondary('Foo'));

Themes

A theme is an object of custom aliases.

const colors = require('ansi-colors');

colors.theme({
  danger: colors.red,
  dark: colors.dim.gray,
  disabled: colors.gray,
  em: colors.italic,
  heading: colors.bold.underline,
  info: colors.cyan,
  muted: colors.dim,
  primary: colors.blue,
  strong: colors.bold,
  success: colors.green,
  underline: colors.underline,
  warning: colors.yellow
});

// Now, we can use our custom styles alongside the built-in styles!
console.log(colors.danger.strong.em('Error!'));
console.log(colors.warning('Heads up!'));
console.log(colors.info('Did you know...'));
console.log(colors.success.bold('It worked!'));
