The writeStream.getColorDepth() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of class WriteStream within tty module which is used to determine what color the terminal supports.
Syntax:
const writeStream.getColorDepth([env])
Parameters: This method accepts object containing the environment variables as an argument.
Return Value: This method returns the number of colors supported by this terminal.
Example 1: Filename: index.js
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // writeStream.getColorDepth() method // Importing dgram module var dgram = require( 'dgram' );
// Creating and initializing client // and server socket var client = dgram.createSocket( "udp4" );
var server = dgram.createSocket( "udp4" );
// Handling the message event server.on( "message" , function (msg) {
// Creating and initializing a
// WriteStream object
let WriteStream = process.stdout;
// Getting color depth
// by using getColorDepth() API
const col = WriteStream
.getColorDepth(process.env);
// Displaying the result
process.stdout.write(msg + col);
// Exiting process
process.exit();
}) // Binding server with port .bind(1234, () => { }); // Client sending message to server client.send( "No of color supported is :- " ,
0, 28, 1234, "localhost" );
|
Output:
No of color supported is :- 24
Example 2: Filename: index.js
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // writeStream.getColorDepth() method // Creating and initializing a // WriteStream object let WriteStream = process.stdout; // Getting color depth // by using getColorDepth() API const col = WriteStream.getColorDepth(process.env); // Displaying the result console.log( "No of color supported is :- " + col);
|
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
No of color supported is :- 24
