@mnrendra/chalk

Refactored chalk code to support both CommonJS (CJS) and ES Modules (ESM) with mixed exports. This allows users to import or require the module without needing to access the .default property.

Benefits

• ✅ Auto-detection for browser and node platforms
• ✅ Supports both CommonJS (CJS) and ES Modules (ESM)
• ✅ Mixed exports (no need to access .default for default value)
• ✅ Minified distribution package
• ✅ Well-tested (100% code coverage)
• ✅ TypeScript source code for easier development

Reference

Refactored from the original source code since version v5.3.0, commit 4a10354. This module will be kept updated with the original source code; contributions are welcome. 🙏
