# RenderKid
[](http://travis-ci.org/AriaMinaei/RenderKid)
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"
}
"li": {
display: "block"
marginBottom: "1"
}
"key": {
color: "grey"
marginRight: "1"
}
"value": {
color: "bright-white"
}
})
output = r.render("
<ul>
<li>
<key>Name:</key>
<value>RenderKid</value>
</li>
<li>
<key>Version:</key>
<value>0.2</value>
</li>
<li>
<key>Last Update:</key>
<value>Jan 2015</value>
</li>
</ul>
")
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:
