# @babel/highlight > Syntax highlight JavaScript strings for output in terminals. ## Install ```sh npm install --save @babel/highlight ``` ## Usage ```js import highlight from "@babel/highlight"; const code = `class Foo { constructor() }`; const result = highlight(code); console.log(result); ``` ```js class Foo { constructor() } ``` By default, `highlight` will not highlight your code if your terminal does not support color. To force colors, pass `{ forceColor: true }` as the second argument to `highlight`. ```js import highlight from "@babel/highlight"; const code = `class Foo { constructor() }`; const result = highlight(code, { forceColor: true }); ```
