# Colorette
> Easily set the color and style of text in the terminal.
- No wonky prototype method-chain API.
- Automatic color support detection.
- Up to [2x faster](#benchmarks) than alternatives.
- [`NO_COLOR`](https://no-color.org) friendly. 👌
Here's the first example to get you started.
```js
import { blue, bold, underline } from "colorette"
console.log(
blue("I'm blue"),
bold(blue("da ba dee")),
underline(bold(blue("da ba daa")))
)
```
Here's an example using [template literals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals).
```js
console.log(`
There's a ${underline(blue("house"))},
With a ${bold(blue("window"))},
And a ${blue("corvette")}
And everything is blue
`)
```
Of course, you can nest styles without breaking existing color sequences.
```js
console.log(bold(`I'm ${blue(`da ba ${underline("dee")} da ba`)} daa`))
```
Feeling adventurous? Try the [pipeline operator](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator).
```js
console.log("Da ba dee da ba daa" |> blue |> bold)
```
## Installation
```console
npm install colorette
```
## API
### `<style>(string)`
```js
import { blue } from "colorette"
blue("I'm blue") //=> \x1b[34mI'm blue\x1b[39m
```
See [supported styles]().
### `options.enabled`
Colorette automatically detects if your terminal can display color, but you can toggle color as needed.
```js
import { options } from "colorette"
options.enabled = false
```
You can also force the use of color globally by setting `FORCE_COLOR=` or `NO_COLOR=` from the CLI.
```console
$ FORCE_COLOR= node example.js >log
$ NO_COLOR= node example.js
```
