  Description     : command-line utility to test react.js component

Ink provides the same component-based UI building experience that React offers
in the browser, but for command-line apps. It uses Yoga to build Flexbox
layouts in the terminal, so most CSS-like props are available in Ink as well.
If you are already familiar with React, you already know Ink.

Since Ink is a React renderer, it means that all features of React are
supported. Head over to React website for documentation on how to use it. Only
Ink's methods will be documented in this readme.

This package is a dependency of node-tap 15. It will be maintained under
JS team umbrella

ink requires yoga-layout-prebuilt which is hard to rebuild: I got a lot
of error when trying to `node-gyp build` yoga-layout. It seems at least
that it requires a newer nodejs.

For now, I'll try to update node-tap without ink. It will be able to
test many things except react components (AFAIK...)
