Put link in console.log(). Node.js

Question

I would like to do something like this:

console.log('Your server available at <a href="localhost:3000"> localhost:3000 </a>');

But unfortunately node console doesn't recognize 'a' tag.

Are any ideas how to put link in node console?

There is no way you can make an HTML tag interpreted by your the terminal, because your terminal has no ideas what html is.

You can just display a URL in console output like console.log('Your server available at http://localhost:3000

Most modern terminals will automatically parse it as a URL (if you put a valid URL there)

For example, Mac default terminal redirects to valid URL from console output if you double-click on it while holding Cmd
