    { id: '5', label: 'End', type: 'end' }
], {
    width: 30,
    borderStyle: 'rounded',
    layout: 'vertical'
});

Node Types:

• start - Starting point
• end - Ending point
• process - Processing step
• decision - Conditional branch
• input - Input operation
• output - Output operation

Tables

ec.table.generate(
    [
        ['Alice', 25, 'Engineer'],
        ['Bob', 30, 'Designer'],
        ['Charlie', 35, 'Manager']
    ],
    {
        headers: ['Name', 'Age', 'Role'],
        borderStyle: 'rounded',
        align: 'center',
        zebra: true
    }
);

Trees

const structure = [
    {
        label: 'src',
        children: [
            {
                label: 'components',
                children: [
                    { label: 'Button.tsx' },
                    { label: 'Input.tsx' }
                ]
            },
            { label: 'utils' }
        ]
    }
];

ec.tree.generate(structure);

Themes

Switch Theme

ec.setTheme('matrix'); // or 'dark', 'ocean', 'default'

Create Custom Theme

ec.addTheme('sunset', {
    name: 'Sunset',
    colors: {
        primary: '#FF6B6B',
        secondary: '#FFA06B',
        success: '#4ECDC4',
        warning: '#FFE66D',
        error: '#FF4757',
        info: '#5F27CD',
        debug: '#A55EEA',
        text: '#2C2C54',
        background: '#FFE4E1',
        border: '#FF8C94'
    },
    styles: {
        fontWeight: 'bold',
        fontSize: '13px'
    }
});

ec.setTheme('sunset');

Date/Time Formatting

import { DateTimeFormatter } from './zconsole';

// Different formats
DateTimeFormatter.format(new Date(), { format: 'time' });
// → 14:30:45

DateTimeFormatter.format(new Date(), { format: 'datetime' });
// → 2024-10-28 14:30:45

DateTimeFormatter.format(new Date(), { format: 'relative' });
// → il y a 5s

DateTimeFormatter.format(new Date(), {
    format: 'custom',
    customFormat: 'DD/MM/YYYY à HH:mm'
});
// → 28/10/2024 à 14:30

📊 Performance

Cache System

Enhanced Console uses an intelligent LRU cache system:

// Get cache statistics
const stats = ec.getCacheStats();
console.log(stats);
// {
//   style: { size: 45, hitRate: '87.3%', ... },
//   color: { size: 23, hitRate: '92.1%', ... },
//   border: { size: 8, hitRate: '95.5%', ... }
// }

// Clear caches
ec.clearCaches();

Performance Metrics

• Chart generation: <50ms for 50 data points
• Log operation: <1ms
• Theme switching: O(1)
• Cache hit rate: 85-95%

🎯 Examples

See examples.ts for comprehensive examples including:

• Complete dashboard
• All chart types
• All diagram types
• Animation demos
• Theme switching
• Performance monitoring
