Decorate yargs content with chalk styles and figlet fonts
npm install yargonaut
npm install --save yargonaut yargs
`
`js
var yargonaut = require('yargonaut') // yargonaut first!
var yargs = require('yargs') // then yargs
`
yargonaut assumes you have yargs installed independently.
To automatically support all locales that yargs supports, make sure to require('yargonaut') in code before you require('yargs'). This is important! If you choose to ignore this, yargonaut will attempt workarounds as best it can, but any issues caused by incorrect ordering of require() statements will not be given priority. The ordering should be natural, since you'll need to configure yargonaut before yargs parses CLI args anyway.
Note that yargonaut does not wrap yargs and is not a replacement for yargs. It's built to work with yargs side-by-side, and it doesn't lock you in to a particular version of yargs, though internal string customization is only supported in yargs v3.16.1 and up.
If anything goes wrong, yargonaut attempts to fail gracefully and silently, so your CLI still works, just without the cool colors/fonts.
Examples
Use a single style and font for all top-level yargs strings:
`js
require('yargonaut')
.style('blue')
.font('Small Slant') // that's it!
var argv = require('yargs')
.command('add', 'Add item to cart')
.command('rm', 'Remove item from cart')
.option('p', {
alias: 'product',
describe: 'Product id(s)',
demand: true
})
.option('s', {
alias: 'size',
describe: 'Desired product size',
choices: ['s', 'm', 'l'],
default: 'm'
})
.option('c', {
alias: 'color',
describe: 'Desired product color'
})
.example('$0 add -p 123 -s l -c green', 'Add large, green product with id 123')
.wrap(null)
.argv

Use one style and font for help content and another for error messages:
`js
require('yargonaut')
.help('3D-ASCII')
.helpStyle('green')
.errors('Calvin S')
.errorsStyle('red')
var argv = require('yargs')
.command('add', 'Add item to cart')
.command('rm', 'Remove item from cart')
.option('p', {
alias: 'product',
describe: 'Product id(s)',
demand: true
})
.option('s', {
alias: 'size',
describe: 'Desired product size',
choices: ['s', 'm', 'l'],
default: 'm'
})
.option('c', {
alias: 'color',
describe: 'Desired product color'
})
.example('$0 add -p 123 -s l -c green', 'Add large, green product with id 123')
.wrap(null)
