Chalk-dom

chalk for the browser

Just like chalk but right in your browser. It uses HTMElement elements (b,s,i,span) and a little inline-css.

Features

• Expressive API
• Highly performant
• Ability to nest styles
• Customizable
• Doesn't extend String.prototype
• Clean and focused
• Actively maintained

Install

$ npm install chalk-dom

Usage

HTML

<div id='console'></div>

JavaScript

import chalk from 'chalk-dom';

const consoleBox = document.getElementById('console');

function log(...data) {
    consoleBox.innerHTML += `<div>${data.join(' ')}</div>`;
}

log(chalk.blue('Hello World!'));

Demo

To run the demo, clone this repo and simply open the index.html file in your browser.

API

The one difference with inken is styles can be chained with chalk-dom.

import chalk from 'chalk-dom';

...

log(chalk.bgBlack.yellow.italic('Hello, World!'));
