TermFlare is a lightweight Node.js module for displaying stylized messages in the console.
It helps clearly distinguish between messages, warnings, and errors through colorful and structured output.
Now supports inline color markup in the /color(text)/ format with nested styling.

Installation

npm install termflare

Usage

ESM

import TermFlare from "termflare";

const Terminal = new TermFlare();

Terminal.Message("Foxes are /yellow(super cute)/!");
Terminal.Warning("Capybara alert! /magenta(Situation escalating)/ 🦫");
Terminal.Error("An /red(unknown error)/ occurred with /yellow(code: 500)/.");

// You can also pass a second argument to Error() for additional debug info,
// which will be displayed in gray (e.g., stack trace or error details).

Terminal.Message("Nested example: /cyan(Outer /green(Inner /blue(Core)/)/ text)/");

Inline Color Syntax

Use the /color(text)/ format to color parts of your message.
Supports nesting and all basic chalk colors.

✅ Examples:

• /green(Successful connection)/
• /red(Error: /yellow(code 403)/)/
• /cyan(Info: /blue(Details inside)/)/

❌ Incorrect:

• Unclosed or mismatched parentheses
• Unknown color names (will default to gray and show a warning)

Available Colors

You can use any of the following color names in /color(text)/ markup:

| Basic | Bright | Other | |--------------|----------------|-------------------| | red | redBright | gray / grey | | green | greenBright | white | | yellow | yellowBright | black | | blue | blueBright | blackBright | | magenta | magentaBright| whiteBright | | cyan | cyanBright | |

Note: Unsupported color names will render text in gray and emit a warning in the console.
