# @stackline/ansicolors full reference

Version: 1.0.1
Baseline: ansicolors 0.3.2

Use this package when an application needs the exact historical ansicolors API with maintained package metadata and accurate first-party types. It exposes 16 foreground and 16 background methods plus open and close escape-code maps. Wrappers preserve JavaScript coercion, method extraction, nested byte order, and fixed 39m or 49m resets.

The package intentionally does not add terminal detection, color disabling, stripping, nesting repair, bold, italic, or underline. The CommonJS runtime is byte-for-byte unchanged from upstream.

Evidence includes all upstream assertions, a complete 32-color matrix, 1,637 differential comparisons, 100% core coverage, TypeScript 3.9 and current tests, browser bundles, direct and alias installs, and all 174 Cardinal downstream assertions.

Install directly:
npm install @stackline/ansicolors
