🌈 Ever felt like your life lacks color? Especially when you’re staring at that console for, like, 176 hours every day? “console.log” is your dear friend, but sometimes even friends need a makeover. So, let’s jazz up our monotonous black-and-white console output with something that would make a rainbow jealous!
🕺 Let’s start this color fest by spilling some red all over our console output. Hold onto your keyboard; things are about to get crazy!
console.log('%c This is an output', 'color: red; background-color: white; font-size: 15px');
🔥BOOM!🔥 Are you seeing this magic? You just turned your plain Jane console output into a dazzling piece of art with the charm of a disco ball. And all you needed was this little “%c” fella before your text and some CSS properties. This is some next-level modern wizardry!
“%c” is like that friend who goes all-in for themed parties - always ready to put on some extra bling.
💡Here’s how it works:
"%c"
is the magic wand you wave to say, "Get ready, things are about to get stylish!"The second parameter is where you doll up your text. It’s your CSS closet - wear whatever you want!
In our case, we chose red for the text, white for the background, and a 15px font-size (because we don’t want our output to be shy; it needs to make an entrance!). 🎩
💖 Imagine the possibilities! You can make your logs as pretty as a Pinterest board or as wild as a unicorn’s dream. It’s a treat for your eyes, and it's helpful for debugging too! Different colors for errors, info, or just about anything. 👀
👩🎨 So the next time you're stuck in a code labyrinth, and the console seems like it’s giving you the cold shoulder, remember you have the power to dress it up! Make it your personal fashion show. Strut. Pose. Debug. Repeat.
Lukas out! Stay colorful, folks! 🌈 🚀
