Summary of Changes

Hello @chenjiahan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on optimizing project dependencies and improving performance by replacing the third-party picocolors library with a custom color utility that utilizes Node.js's native styleText function. This change streamlines console output styling, reduces external dependencies, and aligns with a more lightweight approach to utility functions within the project.

Highlights

  • Dependency Removal: The external picocolors library has been removed from the project dependencies, reducing the overall package footprint.
  • Internal Color Utility: A new internal color utility (packages/core/src/helpers/color.ts) has been introduced, leveraging Node.js's built-in node:util.styleText for console text styling.
  • Code Refactoring: All files previously importing picocolors have been updated to use the newly created internal color utility, ensuring consistent and native-based text styling.
  • Minor Logic Improvement: A small refinement was made in packages/core/src/cli/commands.ts to ensure that command titles are only colored if they exist, preventing potential issues with undefined values.
Changelog
  • packages/core/package.json
    • Removed picocolors from dependencies.
  • packages/core/src/cli/commands.ts
    • Modified conditional logic to ensure section.title exists before applying cyan color styling.
  • packages/core/src/helpers/color.ts
    • Added new file to implement a custom color utility using node:util.styleText for various text styles (e.g., red, yellow, green, bold, underline).
  • packages/core/src/helpers/format.ts
    • Replaced import of picocolors with the new internal color utility from ./color.

Code Review

This pull request replaces the picocolors dependency with the native Node.js styleText utility for coloring console output. This is a great move for reducing dependencies. The implementation of the new color utility is clean, and the replacement is done correctly across the codebase. I've also noticed a nice bug fix in the CLI help message generation. I have one suggestion to improve the maintainability of the new color utility by reducing some code duplication.

Pull request overview

This PR improves performance by replacing the picocolors dependency with Node.js's built-in styleText utility from the node:util module. This reduces the package dependency footprint while maintaining the same color formatting functionality.

Changes:

  • Created a new internal color utility (packages/core/src/helpers/color.ts) that wraps Node.js's styleText API
  • Updated all imports across the codebase to use the new internal color utility
  • Removed the picocolors dependency from packages/core/package.json
  • Added a defensive null check in CLI commands to prevent potential issues with undefined section titles
