How would you pass --color
in the browser?
Even though chrome console, for instance, does support ansi-color.

There isn't any, that's exactly what I meant.

Hmm, indeed, however I still got no color for some reason (maybe 'basic' was not enough for the library I was using, not sure).
Anyway, it would be nice if FORCE_COLOR
would force color even in the browser; using env variable seems better than monkye-patching.
@sindresorhus we should make sure we're not bumping up against this: https://blog.chromium.org/2021/05/update-on-user-agent-string-reduction.html
@roman-khazanskii could you paste here the value of navigator.userAgent
from your browser?
@Qix- sure - 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.113 Safari/537.36'
But I'm afraid you are missing my original point. I didn't actually need colors in my browser console, I wanted to transform ANSI-colored string to HTML (even though my browser console did support color as well, these things are not connected).
I have no idea what you're asking, then. This library doesn't do that, and none of chalk's code outputs HTML.

I know! I just want a way to force color support, that's all :) So other library will give me ANSI-colored text and then I will transform it to HTML.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear from the beginning; I just want to force-enable color support, even in the browser.
I'm bumping into this now —
chalk.supportsColor
is returning false in v4.1.2 in Chrome 103.0.5060.134, and is subsequently not coloring any of the text.
But creating a new custom instance that forces color support with const customChalk = new chalk.Instance({level: 3});
does indeed output colored text.
User agent is Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
for me, which makes isBlinkBasedBrowser
return true.
Ah, I'm now seeing that Chalk v4 is using supports-color v7, which explicitly disables browser color support in browser.js
.
As far as I could understand,
browser.js
ignores any means of color enforcing;FORCE_COLOR
is ignored, now way of passing--color
- and anyway, browser.js just returns 'false'.Even though chrome console, for instance, does support ansi-color.
So if I need to force some other library, depending on this one, to give me back colorized output (that I can transform to html with smthn like
ansi-html
), I have to resort to monkey-patching.
