How I added colors to Laravel Solo

I recently discovered Laravel Solo (from Aaron Francis), and I found it a joy to use.

I mainly run Vite, Queues, Logs, and a Stripe CLI listener. But after I got everything set up, I got annoyed by a tiny detail: only the Vite tab had color highlighting. Bummer!

After googling around, I found that, for the Queues and Logs artisan commands, I could pass the --ansi flag to output colors in a format Solo can understand.

And for the Stripe CLI command (which I'm running through NPM) you can set a --color=on flag.

Here's how my setup looked:

// SoloServiceProvider.php
<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use AaronFrancis\Solo\Commands\EnhancedTailCommand;
use AaronFrancis\Solo\Facades\Solo;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class SoloServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        if (class_exists('\AaronFrancis\Solo\Manager')) {
            $this->configure();
        }
    }

    public function configure()
    {
        Solo::useTheme('dark')
            ->addCommands([
                'Vite' => 'npm run dev',
                'Stripe' => 'npm run stripe -- --color=on',
                'Queue' => 'php artisan queue:work --ansi',
                'Logs' => 'php artisan pail --ansi',
            ])
            ->addLazyCommands([])
            ->allowCommandsAddedFrom([]);
    }

    public function boot()
    {
    
    }
}
