Make note to readme about colors when using typescript

See original GitHub issue

To get the colors working, not only did I install the support-colors and import it into my top level app.ts, but I also needed to set the env var DEBUG_COLORS=true for it to work when using typescript

@Qix- just so you know, I was able to get this working by using npm-run-all package with -p in place of using concurrently, so it appears the problem is when using concurrently package.

Yeah you’re running it in nodemon, which pipes output from your program instead of it going directly to the TTY.

This means that debug is detecting the output as piped and thus disables colors. This is expected behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with typescript. If you didn’t run it with nodemon, it might output colors without the environment variable.

There’s nothing really to do here - this has to do with Node.js and TTY streams, not with debug or Typescript.
