<div align="center">The fastest Node.js library for formatting terminal text with ANSI colors~!</div>
## Features
* No dependencies * Super [lightweight](#load-time) & [performant](#performance) * Supports [nested](#nested-methods) & [chained](#chained-methods) colors * No `String.prototype` modifications * Conditional [color support](#conditional-support) * Familiar [API](#api)
---
As of `v3.0` the Chalk-style syntax (magical getter) is no longer used.<br>If you need or require that syntax, consider using [`ansi-colors`](https://github.com/doowb/ansi-colors), which maintains `chalk` parity.
---
## Install
``` $ npm install --save kleur ```
## Usage
```js const { red, white, blue, bold } = require('kleur');
// basic usage red('red text');
// chained methods blue().bold().underline('howdy partner');
// nested methods bold(`${ white().bgRed('[ERROR]') } ${ red().italic('Something happened')}`); ```
### Chained Methods
```js console.log(bold().red('this is a bold red message')); console.log(bold().italic('this is a bold italicized message')); console.log(bold().yellow().bgRed().italic('this is a bold yellow italicized message')); console.log(green().bold().underline('this is a bold green underlined message')); ```

### Nested Methods
```js const { yellow, red, cyan } = require('kleur');
console.log(yellow(`foo ${red().bold('red')} bar ${cyan('cyan')} baz`)); console.log(yellow('foo ' + red().bold('red') + ' bar ' + cyan('cyan') + ' baz')); ```

### Conditional Support
Toggle color support as needed; `kleur` includes simple auto-detection which may not cover all cases.
```js const kleur = require('kleur');
// manually disable kleur.enabled = false;
// or use another library to detect support kleur.enabled = require('color-support').level;
console.log(kleur.red('I will only be colored red if the terminal supports colors')); ```
## API
Any `kleur` method returns a `String` when invoked with input; otherwise chaining is expected.
> It's up to the developer to pass the output to destinations like `console.log`, `process.stdout.write`, etc.
The methods below are grouped by type for legibility purposes only. They each can be [chained](#chained-methods) or [nested](#nested-methods) with one another.
***Colors:*** > black — red — green — yellow — blue — magenta — cyan — white — gray — grey
***Backgrounds:*** > bgBlack — bgRed — bgGreen — bgYellow — bgBlue — bgMagenta — bgCyan — bgWhite
***Modifiers:*** > reset — bold — dim — italic* — underline — inverse — hidden — strikethrough*
<sup>* <em>Not widely supported</em></sup>
## Benchmarks
> Using Node v10.13.0

## Credits
This project originally forked [Brian Woodward](https://github.com/doowb)'s awesome [`ansi-colors`](https://github.com/doowb/ansi-colors) library.
Beginning with `kleur@3.0`, the Chalk-style syntax (magical getter) has been replaced with function calls per key:
```js // Old: c.red.bold.underline('old');
// New: c.red().bold().underline('new'); ``` > <sup><em>As I work more with Rust, the newer syntax feels so much better & more natural!</em></sup>
If you prefer the old syntax, you may migrate to `ansi-colors`. Versions below `kleur@3.0` have been deprecated.
