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, &lt;World&gt;!\u001b[0m
