Introducing Java Support in Socket
We're excited to announce that Socket now supports the Java programming language.

What is anser?
The 'anser' npm package is a library that allows you to convert ANSI escape codes into HTML. This is particularly useful for rendering terminal output in web applications, where you want to preserve the color and style formatting.
What are anser's main functionalities?
Convert ANSI to HTML
This feature allows you to convert a string containing ANSI escape codes into an HTML string with equivalent styling. The example converts a red-colored 'Hello, World!' from ANSI to HTML.
const anser = require('anser');
const ansiString = '\u001b[31mHello, World!\u001b[0m';
const htmlString = anser.toHtml(ansiString);
console.log(htmlString); // Outputs: <span style="color:#E34C26;">Hello, World!</span>Strip ANSI codes
This feature allows you to strip ANSI escape codes from a string, leaving just the plain text. The example removes the red color formatting from 'Hello, World!'.
const anser = require('anser');
const ansiString = '\u001b[31mHello, World!\u001b[0m';
const plainString = anser.ansiToText(ansiString);
console.log(plainString); // Outputs: Hello, World!Escape for HTML
This feature escapes HTML special characters in a string containing ANSI escape codes. The example converts '<' and '>' to their HTML entities.
const anser = require('anser');
const ansiString = '\u001b[31mHello, <World>!\u001b[0m';
const escapedHtmlString = anser.escapeForHtml(ansiString);
console.log(escapedHtmlString); // Outputs: \u001b[31mHello, <World>!\u001b[0mOther packages similar to anser
chalk
Chalk is a popular library for styling terminal strings in Node.js. Unlike 'anser', which focuses on converting ANSI codes to HTML, Chalk is primarily used for creating styled terminal output. It supports various styles and colors but does not provide HTML conversion.
ansi-to-html
The 'ansi-to-html' package is similar to 'anser' in that it converts ANSI escape codes to HTML. However, 'anser' offers more features like stripping ANSI codes and escaping for HTML, making it a more versatile choice for handling ANSI codes.
strip-ansi
The 'strip-ansi' package is a simple utility for removing ANSI escape codes from strings. While it performs a similar function to 'anser's' ansiToText method, it lacks the additional features like HTML conversion and escaping.
anser
A low level parser for ANSI sequences.
:rocket: Features
- Converts text containing ANSI color escape codes into equivalent HTML elements.
- Allows converting the input into JSON output.
- HTML escaping
- Converts links into HTML elements
- Friendly APIs to use with virtual dom libraries
:cloud: Installation
# Using npm
npm install --save anser
# Using yarn
yarn add anser
:clipboard: Example
const Anser = require("anser");
const txt = "\u001b[38;5;196mHello\u001b[39m \u001b[48;5;226mWorld\u001b[49m";
console.log(Anser.ansiToHtml(txt));
// <span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">Hello</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 0)">World</span>
console.log(Anser.ansiToHtml(txt, { use_classes: true }));
// <span class="ansi-palette-196-fg">Hello</span> <span class="ansi-palette-226-bg">World</span>
console.log(Anser.ansiToJson(txt));
// [ { content: '',
// fg: null,
// bg: null,
// fg_truecolor: null,
// bg_truecolor: null,
// clearLine: undefined,
// decoration: null,
// was_processed: false,
// isEmpty: [Function: isEmpty] },
// { content: 'Hello',
// fg: '255, 0, 0',
// bg: null,
// fg_truecolor: null,
// bg_truecolor: null,
// clearLine: false,
// decoration: null,
// was_processed: true,
// isEmpty: [Function: isEmpty] },
// { content: ' ',
// fg: null,
// bg: null,
// fg_truecolor: null,
// bg_truecolor: null,
// clearLine: false,
// decoration: null,
// was_processed: false,
// isEmpty: [Function: isEmpty] },
// { content: 'World',
// fg: null,
// bg: '255, 255, 0',
// fg_truecolor: null,
// bg_truecolor: null,
// clearLine: false,
// decoration: null,
// was_processed: true,
// isEmpty: [Function: isEmpty] },
// { content: '',
// fg: null,
// bg: null,
// fg_truecolor: null,
// bg_truecolor: null,
// clearLine: false,
// decoration: null,
// was_processed: false,
// isEmpty: [Function: isEmpty] } ]
When using TypeScript without --esModuleInterop enabled you can do the following:
import Anser = require('anser');
const txt = "\u001b[38;5;196mHello\u001b[39m \u001b[48;5;226mWorld\u001b[49m";
console.log(Anser.ansiToHtml(txt));
// <span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">Hello</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 0)">World</span>
Or with --esModuleInterop enabled you can do the following:
import Anser from 'anser';
const txt = "\u001b[38;5;196mHello\u001b[39m \u001b[48;5;226mWorld\u001b[49m";
console.log(Anser.ansiToHtml(txt));
// <span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">Hello</span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 0)">World</span>

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects
I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
-
Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
-
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
-
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffeetea. :tea: -
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
-
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below):
