Add colour to the console

Add colours and style to the node.js console output.

Alternatives

https://www.npmjs.org/package/colors, but it modifies String.prototype and is therefore wrong.

Intallation

$ npm install console-style

Usage

var style = require('console-style');

// Output bold, underlined and red text
console.log( style.bold.underline.red('Hello world') );

The arguments applied to the style are passed to util.format. This means objects will be inspected, and placeholders can be used.

// Alternative syntax
console.log( style( 'Hello world',  [ 'bold', 'underline', 'red' ] ) );

This syntax does not use util.format.
