Alignment

Three related types handle horizontal alignment throughout ts-better-console: Alignment uses directional words, AlignmentAlias uses positional words, and Align accepts both — making all three interchangeable anywhere alignment is needed.

Type Definitions

// Directional — used in most component options
type Alignment = "left" | "center" | "right";

// Positional alias — familiar to CSS / flexbox users
type AlignmentAlias = "start" | "center" | "end";

// Union — accepts either form
type Align = Alignment | AlignmentAlias;

Value Mapping

• "left" / "start" — content aligned to the left edge
• "center" — content centred
• "right" / "end" — content aligned to the right edge

Use aliasAlignment() to normalise an Align value down to a plain Alignment string when you need a canonical form.

Usage

import { Card, Input } from "ts-better-console";

// Alignment value — left | center | right
const card = new Card("Centred text", 40, { align: "center" }).render();

// Alias form — also accepted
const input = new Input({ align: "end" });
