Use process.stdout.isTTY instead of node:tty

[jcbhmr]

The preferred method of determining whether Node.js is being run within a TTY context is to check that the value of the process.stdout.isTTY property is true:

$ node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)"
true
$ node -p -e "Boolean(process.stdout.isTTY)" | cat
false

https://nodejs.org/api/tty.html#tty

colorette/index.js

Line 1 in 20fc196

import * as tty from "tty"

colorette/index.js

Line 15 in 20fc196

tty && tty.isatty && tty.isatty(1) && env.TERM && !isDumbTerminal

globalThis.process?.stdout?.isTTY && env.TERM && !isDumbTerminal 

This would also remove the dependency on the node:tty module and make it "more easier" for use in the browser. i.e. NO TRANSPILATION required, you can just import ... from "./node_modules/colorette/index.js"

What's the minimum Node version needed to run this?

[jcbhmr]

Definitely all LTS versions.

.isTTY is since v0.5.8

Cannot find exact date when process.stdout was instance of tty.WriteStream when it is a tty, but I assume very early on.

We would be able to use it in the browser? Like this 👇

Just by making this change we could use Colorette in the browser? How would that work?

[jycouet]

Because in most browsers, console.log('\x1b[36m%s\x1b[0m', 'I am cyan'); works.

But browser bundler have a hard time with tty.

(You can see the message in the REPL I sent upper)

Also, this would allow us to use it in Edge Runtimes.

I'm using Next.js, and it is reporting something like this on the build.

Using the patch-package with this patch seems to work fine
