ansi-styles

ANSI escape codes for styling strings in the terminal

You probably want the higher-level chalk module for styling your strings.

Install

npm install ansi-styles

Usage

import styles from 'ansi-styles';

console.log(`${styles.green.open}Hello world!${styles.green.close}`);


// Color conversion between 256/truecolor
// NOTE: When converting from truecolor to 256 colors, the original color
//       may be degraded to fit the new color palette. This means terminals
//       that do not support 16 million colors will best-match the
//       original color.
console.log(`${styles.color.ansi(styles.rgbToAnsi(199, 20, 250))}Hello World${styles.color.close}`)
console.log(`${styles.color.ansi256(styles.rgbToAnsi256(199, 20, 250))}Hello World${styles.color.close}`)
console.log(`${styles.color.ansi16m(...styles.hexToRgb('#abcdef'))}Hello World${styles.color.close}`)

API

`open` and `close`

Each style has an open and close property.

`modifierNames`, `foregroundColorNames`, `backgroundColorNames`, and `colorNames`

All supported style strings are exposed as an array of strings for convenience. colorNames is the combination of foregroundColorNames and backgroundColorNames.

This can be useful if you need to validate input:

import {modifierNames, foregroundColorNames} from 'ansi-styles';

console.log(modifierNames.includes('bold'));
//=> true

console.log(foregroundColorNames.includes('pink'));
//=> false

Advanced usage

By default, you get a map of styles, but the styles are also available as groups. They are non-enumerable so they don't show up unless you access them explicitly. This makes it easier to expose only a subset in a higher-level module.

styles.modifier
styles.color
styles.bgColor

Example

import styles from 'ansi-styles';

console.log(styles.color.green.open);

Raw escape codes (i.e. without the CSI escape prefix \u001B[ and render mode postfix m) are available under styles.codes, which returns a Map with the open codes as keys and close codes as values.

Example

import styles from 'ansi-styles';

console.log(styles.codes.get(36));
//=> 39

16 / 256 / 16 million (TrueColor) support

ansi-styles allows converting between various color formats and ANSI escapes, with support for 16, 256 and 16 million colors.

The following color spaces are supported:

rgb
hex
ansi256
ansi

To use these, call the associated conversion function with the intended output, for example:

import styles from 'ansi-styles';

styles.color.ansi(styles.rgbToAnsi(100, 200, 15)); // RGB to 16 color ansi foreground code
styles.bgColor.ansi(styles.hexToAnsi('#C0FFEE')); // HEX to 16 color ansi foreground code

styles.color.ansi256(styles.rgbToAnsi256(100, 200, 15)); // RGB to 256 color ansi foreground code
styles.bgColor.ansi256(styles.hexToAnsi256('#C0FFEE')); // HEX to 256 color ansi foreground code

styles.color.ansi16m(100, 200, 15); // RGB to 16 million color foreground code
styles.bgColor.ansi16m(...styles.hexToRgb('#C0FFEE')); // Hex (RGB) to 16 million color foreground code
