ASCIIFY
A hybrid npm module and CLI for turning plain text into ascii art. A pure JS figlet tool to make all your banners better.

Takes text, awesomizes it, returns | | | __)_ \ / | |
| | | \ / \ | |
|____| /_______ //___/\ \ |____|

Getting started
Install Node.js (tested on 0.8 and 0.10)
Install asciify and gasp:
npm install -g asciify
asciify "Boom" -f larry3d
____
/\ _`\
\ \ \L\ \ ___ ___ ___ ___
\ \ _ <' / __`\ / __`\ /' __` __`\
\ \ \L\ \/\ \L\ \/\ \L\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \
\ \____/\ \____/\ \____/\ \_\ \_\ \_\
\/___/ \/___/ \/___/ \/_/\/_/\/_/
For a really good time call:
asciify -a "All The Fonts!"
Or use it as a node module:
asciify('Awesome', function(err, res){ console.log(res) });

/ | \ \ / \ ___/ \___ \ ( <_> )| Y Y \\ ___/
\____|__ / \/\_/ \___ >/____ > \____/ |__|_| / \___ >

And again with the font option:
asciify('Fonts?', {font:'3-d'}, function(err, res){ console.log(res) });

Now with color support thanks to chalk and @jlowgren
asciify( 'Make it come out green', {color:'green'}, function(err, res){ console.log(res)} );
Bonus method
asciify.getFonts(function (err, fonts) { fonts.forEach( console.log ) )
Thanks to
- figlet-js which does the magic
- optimist, smoothing the choppy waters of CLI argument parsing.
- node-tap, robot friendly test codez, and all the wonders of npm.
