Provide a convenient way for mocking
See original GitHub issueCONTEXT: I’m writing a lib, and I’ve a printer module which uses Chalk for console styling
And I’m trying to write unit tests for the printer module with mocking Chalk.
I checked the source code searching for a way to mock the lib for my testing, but I couldn’t find a convenient way to do so.
All the colors/background are in the __proto__ property, which is so hard to override (ie. mock), so could you advise the best way to do that?
Thanks!

If you’re testing the output of Chalk in your unit tests, you’re being way too specific with your tests and you’ll find their fragility to be a hindrance.
Could you explain a bit more about what you’re trying to mock with chalk?
Ok, thanks a lot for your input 👍
Currently I’m testing that it’s working without issues and calling
console.logwith the giventext, I also think that’s enough!
