ansi-colors Donate NPM version NPM monthly downloads NPM total downloads Linux Build Status

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 ❤️ 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.

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!'));

image

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'));

image

Nested colors

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

image

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

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
