term-css

Terminal CSS styling using node-css.

Installation

$ npm install term-css

Example

js:

 
var css = require('term-css')
  , fs = require('fs')
  , style = fs.readFileSync('pet.css', 'utf8');
 
var tobi = {
  name: 'tobi',
  species: 'ferret',
  age: 2
};
 
var loki = {
  name: 'loki',
  species: 'ferret',
  age: 1
};
 
var fn = css.compile('  {name} is a {species}, he is {age} years old', style);
 
console.log();
console.log(fn(tobi));
console.log(fn(loki));
console.log();
 

css:

name {
  color: cyan;
  font-weight: bold;
}
 
species {
  color: white;
  font-weight: bold;
  background: black;
}
 
age {
  color: red;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

output:

CSS properties

The following CSS properties / values are understood:

• text-decoration: <underline|inverse>
• font-weight: <bold>
• font-style: <italic>
• color: <grey|gray|black|blue|cyan|green|red|magenta|yellow>
• background: <grey|gray|black|blue|cyan|green|red|magenta|yellow>

Substitution

term-css substitutes tokens with properties in the object passed, for example {name} will access { name: "tobi" }, whereas {labels.visits} will access { labels: { visits: 'Visits' } }.

For styling purposes you may also assign a classname, for example instead of styling "labels.visits", "labels.uptime" separately, you may use {label labels.visits} and {label labels.uptime}.

Omitting styling

To output a plain string but use the same format, simply omit the css string from the .compile(fmt, style) call.
