RenderKid allows you to use HTML and CSS to style your CLI output, making it easy to create a beautiful, readable, and consistent look for your nodejs tool.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install with npm:
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install renderkid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
RenderKid = require('renderkid')
|
|
|
|
r = new RenderKid()
|
|
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"ul": {
|
|
display: "block"
|

margin: "2 0 2"
|

")
|
|
|
|
console.log(output)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Stylesheet properties
|
|
|
|
### Display mode
|
|
|
|
Elements can have a `display` of either `inline`, `block`, or `none`:
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"div": {
|
|
display: "block"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
"span": {
|
|
display: "inline" # default
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
"hidden": {
|
|
display: "none"
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
output = r.render("
|
|
<div>This will fill one or more rows.</div>
|
|
<span>These</span> <span>will</span> <span>be</span> in the same <span>line.</span>
|
|
<hidden>This won't be displayed.</hidden>
|
|
")
|
|
|
|
console.log(output)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Margin
|
|
|
|
Margins work just like they do in browsers:
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"li": {
|
|
display: "block"
|
|
|
|
marginTop: "1"
|
|
marginRight: "2"
|
|
marginBottom: "3"
|
|
marginLeft: "4"
|
|
|
|
# or the shorthand version:
|
|
"margin": "1 2 3 4"
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
"highlight": {
|
|
display: "inline"
|
|
marginLeft: "2"
|
|
marginRight: "2"
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
r.render("
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Item <highlgiht>1</highlight></li>
|
|
<li>Item <highlgiht>2</highlight></li>
|
|
<li>Item <highlgiht>3</highlight></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Padding
|
|
|
|
See margins above. Paddings work the same way, only inward.
|
|
|
|
### Width and Height
|
|
|
|
Block elements can have explicit width and height:
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"box": {
|
|
display: "block"
|
|
"width": "4"
|
|
"height": "2"
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
r.render("<box>This is a box and some of its text will be truncated.</box>")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Colors
|
|
|
|
You can set a custom color and background color for each element:
|
|
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"error": {
|
|
color: "black"
|
|
background: "red"
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
List of colors currently supported are `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`, `grey`, `bright-red`, `bright-green`, `bright-yellow`, `bright-blue`, `bright-magenta`, `bright-cyan`, `bright-white`.
|
|
|
|
### Bullet points
|
|
|
|
Block elements can have bullet points on their margins. Let's start with an example:
|
|
```coffeescript
|
|
r.style({
|
|
"li": {
|
|
# To add bullet points to an element, first you
|
|
# should make some room for the bullet point by
|
|
# giving your element some margin to the left:
|
|
marginLeft: "4",
|
|
|
|
# Now we can add a bullet point to our margin:
|
|
bullet: '"-"'
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
# The four hyphens are there for visual reference
|
|
r.render("
|
|
----
|
|
<li>Item 1</li>
|
|
<li>Item 2</li>
|
|
<li>Item 3</li>
|
|
----
|
|
")
|
|
```
|
|
And here is the result:
