figlet.js is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that fully implements the FIGfont spec to render text as ASCII art banners. It works in both Node.js and the browser and powers the TAAG online tool.
Use cases
- render ASCII art text banners in a Node.js CLI
- display stylized FIGlet text in a browser app
- generate ASCII art headers for terminal output
- load and use custom FIGfont files
- print large stylized text in console logs
- build a text-to-ASCII-art web tool
When to choose
- you need FIGfont-spec-compliant ASCII art rendering in JavaScript
- you want the same library that powers patorjk's TAAG tool
- you need both Node.js and browser support for text banners
When to avoid
- you need image-based ASCII art conversion rather than text rendering
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
- you need Unicode or emoji art rather than FIGfont ASCII art
