pretty-dev

Pretty prints the log message to the console with customizable styles.

Installation

You can install pretty-dev using npm:

npm install pretty-dev

How to use

In your JavaScript code, import the necessary modules:

const { Log, logStyle } = require('pretty-dev');

Create an instance of the Log class:

const log = new Log();

Set the text of the log message using the setText method:

log.setText('Message Text');

Apply styles to the log message using the style method and the predefined styles from logStyle:

log.style(logStyle.red).style(logStyle.backgroundGreen);

Print the formatted log message to the console using the print method:

log.print();

Retrieve the formatted log message as a string using the text method:

const formattedText = log.text();
console.log(formattedText);

Examples

Here are some examples of using the pretty-dev package:

// Printing formatted log message

// Printing a styled greeting message
console.log('Hello ' + log.setText('Matija').style(logStyle.red).style(logStyle.bold).text() + '. Nice to meet you!');

// Printing an error message with bold red text on yellow background
log.setText('Error: File not found').style(logStyle.red).style(logStyle.bold).style(logStyle.backgroundYellow).print();
