# ansi-styles [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/chalk/ansi-styles.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/chalk/ansi-styles) > [ANSI escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors_and_Styles) for styling strings in the terminal You probably want the higher-level [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk) module for styling your strings. ## Install ``` $ npm install ansi-styles ``` ## Usage ```js const style = require('ansi-styles'); console.log(`${style.green.open}Hello world!${style.green.close}`); // Color conversion between 16/256/truecolor // NOTE: If conversion goes to 16 colors or 256 colors, the original color // may be degraded to fit that color palette. This means terminals // that do not support 16 million colors will best-match the // original color. console.log(style.bgColor.ansi.hsl(120, 80, 72) + 'Hello world!' + style.bgColor.close); console.log(style.color.ansi256.rgb(199, 20, 250) + 'Hello world!' + style.color.close); console.log(style.color.ansi16m.hex('#abcdef') + 'Hello world!' + style.color.close); ``` ## API Each style has an `open` and `close` property. ## Styles ### Modifiers - `reset` - `bold` - `dim` - `italic` *(Not widely supported)* - `underline` - `inverse` - `hidden` - `strikethrough` *(Not widely supported)* ### Colors - `black` - `red` - `green` - `yellow` - `blue` - `magenta` - `cyan` - `white` - `blackBright` (alias: `gray`, `grey`) - `redBright` - `greenBright` - `yellowBright` - `blueBright` - `magentaBright` - `cyanBright` - `whiteBright` ### Background colors - `bgBlack` - `bgRed` - `bgGreen` - `bgYellow` - `bgBlue` - `bgMagenta` - `bgCyan` - `bgWhite` - `bgBlackBright` (alias: `bgGray`, `bgGrey`) - `bgRedBright` - `bgGreenBright` - `bgYellowBright` - `bgBlueBright` - `bgMagentaBright` - `bgCyanBright` - `bgWhiteBright` ## 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. - `style.modifier` - `style.color` - `style.bgColor` ###### Example ```js console.log(style.color.green.open); ``` Raw escape codes (i.e. without the CSI escape prefix `\u001B[` and render mode postfix `m`) are available under `style.codes`, which returns a `Map` with the open codes as keys and close codes as values. ###### Example ```js console.log(style.codes.get(36)); //=> 39 ``` ## [256 / 16 million (TrueColor) support](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728) `ansi-styles` uses the [`color-convert`](https://github.com/Qix-/color-convert) package to allow for converting between various colors and ANSI escapes, with support for 256 and 16 million colors. The following color spaces from `color-convert` are supported: - `rgb` - `hex` - `keyword` - `hsl` - `hsv` - `hwb` - `ansi` - `ansi256` To use these, call the associated conversion function with the intended output, for example: ```js style.color.ansi.rgb(100, 200, 15); // RGB to 16 color ansi foreground code style.bgColor.ansi.rgb(100, 200, 15); // RGB to 16 color ansi background code style.color.ansi256.hsl(120, 100, 60); // HSL to 256 color ansi foreground code style.bgColor.ansi256.hsl(120, 100, 60); // HSL to 256 color ansi foreground code style.color.ansi16m.hex('#C0FFEE'); // Hex (RGB) to 16 million color foreground code style.bgColor.ansi16m.hex('#C0FFEE'); // Hex (RGB) to 16 million color background code ``` ## Related - [ansi-escapes](https://github.com/sindresorhus/ansi-escapes) - ANSI escape codes for manipulating the terminal ## Maintainers - [Sindre Sorhus](https://github.com/sindresorhus) - [Josh Junon](https://github.com/qix-) ---
