How to use it

Install the package:

``bash
$ npm install --save pretty-repl
`

Use the package:

`javascript
const repl = require('pretty-repl');

const options = {
prompt: '→ '
};

repl.start(options);
`

options is an an object with the same options as repl.REPLServer.

Additionally, it's possible to pass an additional colorize property to the options object:

`javascript
{
colorize: function (str) {
// str is the the string in input.
// the function should return the string that has been colorized to output in the REPL.
}
}
`

In order to highlighting matching pairs of brackets, a colorizeMatchingBracket`
is also available.
