tty: add NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR support by BridgeAR · Pull Request #26485 · nodejs/node

BridgeAR · 2019-03-07T01:15:05Z

This adds support to enforce a specific color depth by checking the
FORCE_COLOR environment variable similar to chalk.

On top of that we also add support for the NO_COLOR environment
variable as suggested by https://no-color.org/.

Refs: #26248

This supersedes #26248.

silverwind

LGTM, thought some sort of standardization attempt for FORCE_COLOR and especially its values would be nice.

BridgeAR · 2019-03-08T15:22:00Z

@silverwind I am already working in that direction and opened issues in the no-color repository and want to achieve some consolidations with true color support and things like that and suggest some things to some people who work on terminal colors.

vsemozhetbyt

Doc format LGTM with nits.

It would be nice to get some further reviews @nodejs/repl @nodejs/util

+ case '':
+ case '1':
+ case 'true':
+ warnOnDeactivatedColors(env);


Place this above the switch?

When moved above the switch, I'll have to exclude a lot of values. That's why it's inside.

Really wish someone from the Chalk team was pinged about this. We had a lot of discussion about these environment variables.

There was a strong resistance against having two of them - the semantics are unclear and arbitrary when both FORCE_COLOR=1 and NO_COLOR=1 are defined. Which one takes precedence? It's entirely up to the implementation.

By instead using FORCE_COLOR=0, you remove any confusion. None of this was even questioned before being blindly merged and set in stone in Node.js other than @silverwind suggesting it.

This is only adding to confusion and working in the opposite direction of efforts being made by terminal emulator implementors trying to cooperatively simplify this whole mess of terminal styling and colors.
