Classes

Chalk: Chalk - A Library for printing styled text to the console using ANSI control sequences. Documentation of the ANSI code system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code . References with detailed explainations of the various color models included here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HWB_color_model The complete history of the X11 color names (later used in css/svg also) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names .

ChalkAnsiColorSet: Color sets available for the basic ANSI colors 0 - 15. These match the colors I used for DartPad and VSCode also. There are versions for light mode, dark mode and high contrast mode.
ChalkOutputMode: Available output modes for the color and styled text. The default is ANSI output mode, setOutputMode() can be used on specific Chalk instances to change this. `Chalk.setDefaultOutputMode = true | false;' can be used to change the default for future construction of Chalk instances. The default is ChalkOutputMode.ansi
ChalkWhitespaceTreatment

ChalkString on String: Extensions on the String class that allow you to use the Chalk methods directly on Strings, ie. 'This will be red italic'.red.italic 'This will be red on yellow background'.red.onYellow
ChalkX11Strings on String: This extension class adds proper methods to Chalk for all of the standard X11/CSS/SVG color names for use by Chalk.

ansiColorDisabled → bool: Read only. Chalk does not look at it's value.
final
chalk ↔ Chalk: Default global instance of chalk used for base call. This can be set to a specific Chalk instance that would then serve as basis for all calls.
getter/setter pair
chalkUsedAnsiInclude → String: Read only, informational only. Name of the ansi include file used supports_ansi.dart is the default, or the dart.library.io version supports_ansi_io.dart or the dart.library.js_interop version supports_ansi_web.dart.
final
dartSupportsAnsiColor → bool: Read only. Chalk does not use it's value although in some situation a user might use this to set the Chalk ansi color level (or something) I have left it here only for completeness. Within the common debug consoles this variable is essentially worthless because they return FALSE from both VSCode debug console and IntelliJ/Android Studio debug consoles. (This is because dart just checks for 'xterm' string being present in the 'TERM' environmental variable of the console..) See https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/31606 and https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/41770 for more info.
