First call

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console) // Using class cs.console

cs.console.log("My first log!"); // like console.log

Output (cs.console)

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console);

cs.console.log("It's a basic log"); // Basic log like console.log
cs.console.warn("Warn??"); // Warn message with yellow text foreground
cs.console.error("Error!"); // Error message with red text foreground
cs.console.fatal("FATAL ERROR!!!") // Fatal error message with red text background and black foreground

Demo 1:

Text coloring

• cs.fg.color() - foreground color
• cs.fg.bright.color() - foreground bright color
• cs.bg.color() - background color
• cs.bg.bright.color() - background bright color
• cs.format.style() - bold / underlined text

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru"); cs.use(cs.console);

cs.console.log(cs.fg.bright.green(cs.format.bold("Green bright bold text"))); // likewise cs.format.underlined

## ANSI256 colors (xterm-256color)
\- colorside@^1.2.3
<br>
```ts
import { ANSI256 } from 'colorside/ansi256';

ANSI256.get.fg("#hex"); // returns only ansi256-color code. need to ANSI.reset at the end
ANSI256.get.bg("#hex"); // like get.fg, but background

ANSI256.replace.fg("#hex", "Some Text"); // returns a fg color wrapper only for text from the 2nd argument
ANSI256.replace.bg("#hex", "Some Text"); // like replace.fg, but background

Demo 2:

Clear console

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console);

cs.console.clear(); // clear screen

Process freezing

The application does not close spontaneously

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console);

cs.console.freeze();
cs.console.warn("Only Ctrl-C will kill app");

// Later, you can unfreeze the process automatically
// cs.console.unfreeze();

Sync sleep

Like setTimeout, but sync

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console);

cs.console.log("Downloading...");
cs.console.sleepSync(1000); // 1s
cs.console.log("Success!");

Input (cs.input)

Input prompts using inquirer API

Basic input

import ColorSide from 'colorside';

const cs: any = new ColorSide("ru");
cs.use(cs.console);
cs.use(cs.input); // Using class cs.input

async function main(): Promise<void> {
    const name = await cs.input.readline("Enter your name: "); // Basic input and nothing else
    cs.console.log(`Your name: ${cs.fg.bright.magenta(name)}`);
}

main();

Demo 3:

Advanced input (text)

import ColorSide, { ANSI } from 'colorside';

    const name = await cs.input.readtext({
        message: /*(string)*/ "Enter your name:", // <- [No space after ':']
        
        /* optional params */
        // messageColor: /*(string)*/ ANSI.fg.green, - message color
        inputColor: /*(string)*/ ANSI.fg.bright.cyan, // input color
        // prefix: /*(null | string)*/ '>', - custom prefix. null = prefix disabled
        // finishPrefix: /*(boolean)*/ true, - show final prefix when input readed
        default: /*(string)*/ "John", // default name
        validate: (val) => (val.toLowerCase() !== "adolf") || "Sorry, we don't support such names" // input validation
