htmlparser2 VS chalk

I hear you! I went all-in to jQuery- scene. Even wrote a semi-famous library called "jQuery Tools" (oldies know). Then came React and I wrote Riot to simplify the syntax. Then I sidetracked to a startup world for (too) many years and watched aside how the frontend ecosystem grew to it's current dimensions.

Node uses a single dependency, htmlparser2 [1], in the package.json [2]. The HTML parser is used to traverse the HTML that is written on the Nue files. I quickly _thought_ of writing my own parser, but right now I'm having my eyes staring at Bun's native HTML parsing capabilities. Instead of Node, I'm using Bun to develop everything. I need less dependencies with it, because things like JS minification or .env file parsing are biult in.

Why not just modify your code to use something more lightweight such as or something similar, and integrate your SvelteKit app with Cloudflare Workers using the official adapter? I’m pretty sure if configured correctly you could use their HTMLRewriter API.

4. Chalk

Chalk: Provides an easy way to stylize terminal strings with various colors and text formatting in Node.js, aiding in creating visually appealing command-line outputs

Chalk is a popular choice for adding colors to CLI output while maintaining readability.

Librerías: Chalk winston, log4js

Today the most popular library and de facto standard is the chаlk. The chalk has rich functionality, is fast but not ideal. It lacks some useful features.

This is a new tutorial on how to create a command line interface application, and our application today is a Mortgage Calculator. I used in this program packages such as 1- inquirer for interactive questions and answers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/inquirer 2- Sqlite3 DBMS 3- Chalk for colorful output in the terminal: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk

One of the libraries I used most that went full-ESM is Chalk. They released v5 over a year-and-a-half ago (November 2021) with ESM-only support and haven't updated v4 - their last iteration that supported CommonJS - since. If you go into their GitHub Issues section, you'll see a number of issues raised about CommonJS support, most of which are just responded to with a link to a post they made about switching over. Fair enough. I guess if I had to constantly answer the same question over and over, I might do the same.

To colorize my logs, I used a chalk package and created a logger utility:

We will add some dependencies to help us deal with CLI behaviours (inquirer) and text coloring (chalk).
