Usage

Colors & Styling

const { chalk, red, green, bold, italic } = require('@terminal/terminal-formatting')

console.log(red('Error message'))
console.log(green('Success!'))
console.log(bold.blue('Important text'))
console.log(chalk.rgb(255, 136, 0)('Custom RGB color'))

Text Formatting

const { box, center, pad, truncate } = require('@terminal/terminal-formatting')

console.log(box('Hello World', {
  borderStyle: 'double',
  borderColor: 'cyan',
  padding: 1
}))

console.log(center('Centered Text', 50))
console.log(truncate('Very long text that needs truncation', 20))

Logging

const { logger, createLogger } = require('@terminal/terminal-formatting')

logger.success('Operation completed')
logger.error('Something went wrong')
logger.warning('Deprecation notice')
logger.info('FYI')

const apiLogger = createLogger('API')
apiLogger.info('Request received')

Spinners

const { createSpinner } = require('@terminal/terminal-formatting')

async function loadData() {
  const spinner = createSpinner('Loading data...')
  spinner.start()

  // Simulate async operation
  await someAsyncOperation()

  spinner.succeed('Data loaded successfully!')
}

Tables

const { createTable } = require('@terminal/terminal-formatting')

const table = createTable({
  head: ['Name', 'Age', 'City'],
  colWidths: [20, 10, 20]
})

table.push(['Alice', '28', 'New York'])
table.push(['Bob', '32', 'San Francisco'])

console.log(table.toString())

Architecture

This package follows SOLID principles:

• Single Responsibility: Each module handles one specific concern
• Open/Closed: Extensible through composition, not modification
• Dependency Inversion: Depends on abstractions (chalk, ora) not concrete implementations
