auto format console output with chalk for node

console.log, .info, .warn, .error doesn’t have a specific color scheme in a terminal with node. (it exists mostly to miror console api for browser)

So i created a simple package that use chalk to add some colors and style to console’s api for node.

Install

$ npm install niceuho
// or
$ yarn add niceuho

Usage

Default config

require('niceuho')
console.log("Hello") // output white Hello by default
console.warn('Warning !') // output yellow Warning ! by default

Custom config

require('niceuho')({ log : 'blue', error : ['bold', 'underline', 'red'] })
console.log("Hello") // output blue Hello
console.error('Error !') // output "Error !" in bold red and underlined

You can use all the modifiers from chalk in the custom (accept a string or an array of string)
In the config you can customize log, info, warn and error.

Warning

In order to get a proper formatting you have some constraints.
If you want to show an object for example you’ll have to use the node’s util format syntax.

console.log("object : %o", myobj)
