warnie

Simple text error reporter.

Installation

npm i warnie

How to use

const Warnie = require('warnie');
const fs = require('fs');

console.log(new Warnie('Hello world!', __filename, 3, 12)
    .explain(fs.readFileSync(__filename, 'utf-8').split('\n')));

Customization

Best use with chalk (install it with npm i chalk).

const chalk = require('chalk');

// Colors customization
Warnie.shadowDye = chalk.gray;
Warnie.pointerDye = chalk.red;
Warnie.messageDye = chalk.white;
Warnie.filenameDye = chalk.green;

// Make more or less lines around
Warnie.linesAround = 4;

// Customize line number column format
Warnie.renderLineNumber = line => ` ${('     ' + (line|0)).slice(-4)} | `;

// Or drop that column
Warnie.renderLineNumber = () => '';

// Customize pointer
Warnie.renderPointer = column => `${new Array(column).join(' ')}↑`;
