No longer works in browser with Webpack 5 about ansi-colors

[doowb]

Is there a way to add the polyfill?

This issue may be related and might get fixed in create-react-app.

Not sure, I haven't had the time to look into it much. Here's an answer on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65018686/955014

A simpler solution could be to just wrap the assignments of isWindows and isLinux in a try-catch, where you default to something sensible on error.

Though as I see it, I'm not sure querying process.platform and then hardcoding the behavior based on that is the best solution. For example, the reason I'm using ansi-colors in a web app is for communication with an external device via the Web Serial API. In that regard, process.platform is not useful at all, since it only applies to the host OS, not the one being communicated with. A solution where it's possible to configure the lib during runtime whether it should use Windows or Linux ANSI seems a lot more flexible to me.

Or, perhaps web and ANSI-colored text streams from external devices is not something you wish to support, which is fine too, and then I suppose you can leave it as is :)
