ANSI Colors chrome extension

Chrome extension that converts ANSI characters to colors on the fly / on button click for the lazy ones. Does what ansi-html-stream does but within browser.

Work in progress (pressing on button currently strip ansi characters for now) :P

Motivation

I once used to run salt commands with jenkins, which outputs colored data by default, but it gets unreadable in a webpage! There's a jenkins plugin for this, but I tought why not a plugin for chrome itself? Here it is :)

Here's a related blog post I wrote about ansi characters and colors: Keep saltstack colored output

Todo

• Add support for colors instead of stripping colors
• Create an icon
• Upgrade all packages
• Upgrade node base version (you need node 8 to build this project)
• Provide ansi stripping capability strip-ansi 🎉
• Publish

Usage

Right now, hitting extension button can convert from this:
