# kolorist

Tiny library to put colors into stdin/stdout :tada:

![Screenshot of terminal colors](.github/demo.png)

## Usage

```bash

npm install --save-dev kolorist

```

```js

import { red, cyan } from 'kolorist';

console.log(red(`Error: something failed in ${cyan('my-file.js')}.`));

```

You can also disable or enable colors globally via the following environment variables:

- disable:

  - `NODE_DISABLE_COLORS`

  - `NO_COLOR`

  - `TERM=dumb`

  - `FORCE_COLOR=0`

- enable:

  - `FORCE_COLOR=1`

  - `FORCE_COLOR=2`

  - `FORCE_COLOR=3`

On top of that you can disable colors right from node:

```js

import { options, red } from 'kolorist';

options.enabled = false;

console.log(red('foo'));

// Logs a string without colors

```

You can also strip colors from a string:

```js

import { red, stripColors } from 'kolorist';

console.log(stripColors(red('foo')));

// Logs 'foo'

```
