Kleur to util.styleText

This recipe migrates from the external kleur package to Node.js built-in util.styleText API. It transforms kleur style calls and kleur/colors named style functions to the native Node.js styling functionality.

Examples

- import kleur from 'kleur';
+ import { styleText } from 'node:util';
- console.log(kleur.red('Error'));
+ console.log(styleText('red', 'Error'));
- console.log(kleur.bold().red('Failure'));
+ console.log(styleText(['bold', 'red'], 'Failure'));

Diff

- import { green, dim } from 'kleur/colors';
+ import { styleText } from 'node:util';
- console.log(green('OK') + ' ' + dim(name));
+ console.log(styleText('green', 'OK') + ' ' + styleText('dim', name));

Diff

- import { bgRed, white } from 'kleur/colors';
+ import { styleText } from 'node:util';
- console.log(bgRed(white('FAIL')));
+ console.log(styleText(['bgRed', 'white'], 'FAIL'));

Diff

Compatibility

Removes the kleur dependency from package.json automatically
Supports default, namespace, and CommonJS kleur imports
Supports named imports and destructured requires from kleur/colors
Leaves unsupported APIs such as kleur.enabled and $ from kleur/colors unchanged

Limitations

Manual migration is required for kleur.enabled, $ from kleur/colors, and other APIs that are not direct style functions
