# ansistyles [](http://next.travis-ci.org/thlorenz/ansistyles) Functions that surround a string with ansistyle codes so it prints in style. In case you need colors, like `red`, have a look at [ansicolors](https://github.com/thlorenz/ansicolors). ## Installation npm install ansistyles ## Usage ```js var styles = require('ansistyles'); console.log(styles.bright('hello world')); // prints hello world in 'bright' white console.log(styles.underline('hello world')); // prints hello world underlined console.log(styles.inverse('hello world')); // prints hello world black on white ``` ## Combining with ansicolors Get the ansicolors module: npm install ansicolors ```js var styles = require('ansistyles') , colors = require('ansicolors'); console.log( // prints hello world underlined in blue on a green background colors.bgGreen(colors.blue(styles.underline('hello world'))) ); ``` ## Tests Look at the [tests](https://github.com/thlorenz/ansistyles/blob/master/test/ansistyles.js) to see more examples and/or run them via: npm explore ansistyles && npm test ## More Styles As you can see from [here](https://github.com/thlorenz/ansistyles/blob/master/ansistyles.js#L4-L15), more styles are available, but didn't have any effect on the terminals that I tested on Mac Lion and Ubuntu Linux. I included them for completeness, but didn't show them in the examples because they seem to have no effect. ### reset A style reset function is also included, please note however that this is not nestable. Therefore the below only underlines `hell` only, but not `world`. ```js console.log(styles.underline('hell' + styles.reset('o') + ' world')); ``` It is essentially the same as: ```js console.log(styles.underline('hell') + styles.reset('') + 'o world'); ``` ## Alternatives **ansistyles** tries to meet simple use cases with a very simple API. However, if you need a more powerful ansi formatting tool, I'd suggest to look at the [features](https://github.com/TooTallNate/ansi.js#features) of the [ansi module](https://github.com/TooTallNate/ansi.js).
