  • Prebuilt Distributions: Available in ESM, CommonJS, and IIFE formats for maximum compatibility.
  • Zero Dependencies: Lightweight with a minimal footprint for optimal performance.
  • TypeScript Support: First-class TypeScript definitions for a type-safe development experience.
  • Cross-Platform: Compatible with Node.js, Deno, and modern browsers.
  • ANSI Styling: Built-in support for 4-bit, 8-bit, and 24-bit ANSI escape codes to style CLI output.

Installation

Kolory can be installed via all major package managers or used directly in the browser via a CDN.

Using Package Managers

# npm
npm install kolory

# yarn
yarn add kolory

# pnpm
pnpm add kolory

# bun
bun add kolory

Using CDN (Browser)

Include Kolory in your HTML for browser-based projects:

<!-- UNPKG -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/kolory/dist/index.iife.js"></script>

<!-- jsDelivr -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/kolory/dist/index.iife.js"></script>

<!-- ESM (Modern Browsers) -->
<script type="module">
  import kolory from 'https://esm.sh/kolory';
</script>

Usage

Kolory provides a straightforward API to access and manipulate colors in various formats. Below are examples for different environments.

ESM (Modern JavaScript)

import kolory, { hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla } from 'kolory';

console.log(kolory.hex.blue_metal);
console.log(hex.blue_metal);
console.log(rgb.blue_metal);

CommonJS

const { hex, rgb } = require('kolory');

console.log(hex.sunset_orange);
console.log(rgb.sunset_orange);

Browser (IIFE via CDN)

<script src="https://unpkg.com/kolory/dist/index.iife.js"></script>
<script>
  console.log(kolory.hex.blue_metal);
</script>

Color Data Structure

Kolory organizes colors in a structured JSON format, with each color entry providing values for all supported formats. Below is an example:

{
  "blue_metal": {
    "hex": "#4A90E2",
    "rgb": "74,144,226",
    "rgba": "74,144,226,1",
    "hsl": "210,73%,58%",
    "hsla": "210,73%,58%,1"
  }
}

API Reference

Kolory exports several modules to access colors in different formats:

Export Description
kolory Structured object containing all color formats
hex Colors in HEX format (e.g., #4A90E2)
rgb Colors in RGB format (e.g., 74,144,226)
rgba Colors in RGBA format (e.g., 74,144,226,1)
hsl Colors in HSL format (e.g., 210,73%,58%)
hsla Colors in HSLA format (e.g., 210,73%,58%,1)
ansi ANSI escape codes for CLI styling

ANSI Escape Codes

Kolory includes robust support for ANSI escape codes, enabling vibrant and expressive CLI output. It supports 4-bit, 8-bit, and 24-bit color modes, with a chainable syntax for easy styling.

ANSI Features

  • Chainable Syntax: Combine styles fluently (e.g., ansi.red.bold.underline('Hello')).
  • Fully Typed: TypeScript support for all ANSI styles.
  • Comprehensive SGR Codes: Includes all Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) codes.
  • Cross-Platform: Works in Node.js, Deno, and ANSI-compatible browser terminals.
  • Auto-Reset: Automatically appends \x1b[0m to reset styles after each print.
  • Raw Output: Use .apply(text) to retrieve styled strings without printing.

ANSI Usage

import { ansi } from 'kolory';

// Basic styling
ansi.bold('Bold text'); // Bold text
ansi.italic.underline('Stylish!'); // Italicized and underlined text
ansi.red.bgWhite.bold('Alert!'); // Red text on white background, bold
console.log(ansi.green.apply('Green text')); // Returns raw styled string

Supported ANSI Styles

Category Styles
Text Styles bold, dim, italic, underline, blink, inverse, hidden
Foreground black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white
Bright FG gray, brightRed, brightGreen, brightYellow, brightBlue, brightMagenta, brightCyan, brightWhite
Background bgBlack, bgRed, bgGreen, bgYellow, bgBlue, bgMagenta, bgCyan, bgWhite
Bright BG bgGray, bgBrightRed, bgBrightGreen, bgBrightYellow, bgBrightBlue, bgBrightMagenta, bgBrightCyan, bgBrightWhite
Reset .reset (or automatic after every print)

ANSI Examples

ansi.inverse('Inverted'); // Inverted text
ansi.brightCyan('Bright Cyan Text'); // Bright cyan text
ansi.bgBrightMagenta.white.bold('Highlight this!'); // White bold text on bright magenta background

How ANSI Works

Kolory’s ANSI support uses dynamic proxy chaining to build escape sequences. Each chained property appends an ANSI code, and the final invocation wraps the text with the appropriate codes:

ansi.red.bold('Hello'); // Outputs: \u001b[31m\u001b[1mHello\u001b[0m

Note

Use .apply(text) to retrieve the raw styled string for further processing without printing to the console.
