ConsolePretty is a threadsafe singleton and suitable for injection. Inject the library like so:

 property name="ConsolePretty" inject="MessageBox@ConsolePretty;
 
 function run() {
 ConsolePretty.printMessageBox( "🦄  Welcome to my pretty box 🦄 " )
 }
}

Options

• message: String or array of strings to print inside the box. Word wrapping is on by default. If an array of strings, each item in the array will be a separate line (hint: even empty strings ). Can use some emojis (depending on terminal shell support, but mostly these are good: https://gist.github.com/rxaviers/7360908)
• border: Character(s) to use to draw the box. Defaults to "🔥 ". Can be pretty much any printable character supported by your terminal - results may vary.
• color: Color of text inside the box. Defaults to "white" (For available color options run box system-colors)
• borderColor: Color of border characters. Defaults to "red"
• wordwrap: If true, will wrap at 80 characters (or whatever columns is set to. Defaults to true.
• columns: Number of characters to print before wrapping. Defaults to 80.
• textAlign: Either "left" or "center" to align text. Defaults to "center"
