Colors not appearing on curl request.

[sagarkarira]

When you run the express server locally, you get colors because I am not stripping ANSI codes. But when you deploy to Zeit now, colors are not coming. Maybe because they are stripping ANSI codes.

I am not able to figure this out. If anyone has any idea please let me know.

@styfle: do you have any ideas maybe? :)

[styfle]

Correct, when you visit deployment.now.sh/_logs the logs don't include colors.

You might want to try Log Drains if you need more advanced logging https://zeit.co/blog/log-drains

@styfle I think @sagarkarira refers to using curl https://corona-stats.online/ as opposed to running it locally like curl locahost:3001

[styfle]

Oh I understand now.

Try setting FORCE_COLOR=1 to force chalk to set colors even without TTY.

I created PR #51 but you don't have this repo linked so it didn't autodeploy my PR.

Can you try signing up https://zeit.co/github

[sagarkarira]

@styfle It worked. ❤️
I've also integrated my repo with Zeit.

Check here: curl https://coronavirus-tracker.sagark.now.sh

Merging this PR.

@styfle I didn't know about Zeit Git integration. This is awesome.

[styfle]

@sagarkarira I highly recommend the Git Integration because then ZEIT Now will deploy each PR and you can try out the preview url before merging. Merging to master will perform the production deployment and assign the appropriate domain.

BTW do you have any idea why the slowdown? This wasn't present a couple of says ago @sagarkarira https://gtmetrix.com/compare/G9zeIBok/INyNUd35#waterfall

Maybe it's because of the API I am using to fetch the data. I have added node-cache around the response, but I don't really know that Zeit allows variable caching as it is serverless.

The caching works locally but I haven't added logs to test in zeit dev or prod. I thought it would work. If the request is going to that API on each call then the response will be slow.

Also, I have removed Zeit smart CDN caching because there was a bug which was returning HTML is case of curl request.

But changing the Cache-Control to no-cache didn't solve it.
The issue was with the regex which was pushed sometime earlier. Check here. I've removed the global flag and will push the code now.

I will check if variable caching works on zeit by adding some logs and will let you know
