Node.js Tutorial - Node.js colors Package








Customizing Console Colors

Syntax highlighting helps you manage code complexity.

The colors package (npm install colors) brings a similar benefit to your console output, making it easier to follow what is going on.

It is also one of the most used NPM packages.

It adds functions to the native JavaScript string so that you can do things such as "some string".red.

Example


// Loading this module modifies String for the entire process 
require('colors'); 

console.log('hello'.green); // outputs green text 
console.log('world!'.red); // outputs red text 
console.log('Feeling yellow'.yellow); // outputs yellow text 
console.log('But you look blue'.blue); // outputs yellow text 
console.log('This should cheer you up!'.rainbow); // rainbow
