How to display text next to ascii art (in terminal) in NodeJS? - node.js

Question

I would like to display some ascii art in this format:
_,-, Name: Powerful Axe
T_ | Rarity: Yellow Rarity (77.5)
||`-' Attack: 100
|| Defense: 100
|| Speed: 100
~~ Gold Value: 10
an axe that is really rare
I want it in a column layout, kind of like neofetch does, but in NodeJS.
I get all this data from a json file, and I am using the following function to format and color the key pair type values:
const chalk = require('chalk')
function keyValue(key, value) {
return chalk.green(key) + ": " + chalk.yellow(value)
}
This all needs to be in the terminal, and preferably not using node-curses or blessed.

I found a very inefficient and bloated solution:
function print2MultiLine(string, string2) {
var arr1 = string.split("\n");
var arr2 = string2.split("\n");
if (arr1.length > arr2.length) {
while (arr1.length > arr2.length) {
arr2.push("");
}
} else if (arr1.length < arr2.length) {
while (arr1.length < arr2.length) {
arr1.push("");
}
}
var longestLine = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
if (arr1[i].length > longestLine) {
longestLine = arr1[i].length;
}
}
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
while (arr1[i].length < longestLine) {
arr1[i] += " ";
}
}
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
console.log(arr1[i] + " " + arr2[i]);
}
}
if you like comments:
function print2MultiLine(string, string2) {
// for each line in each string, print it out 3 spaces away from the other
var arr1 = string.split("\n");
var arr2 = string2.split("\n");
// if one string is longer than the other, make the shorter one the length of the longer one
if (arr1.length > arr2.length) {
while (arr1.length > arr2.length) {
arr2.push("");
}
} else if (arr1.length < arr2.length) {
while (arr1.length < arr2.length) {
arr1.push("");
}
}
// get the length of the longest line in arr1
var longestLine = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
if (arr1[i].length > longestLine) {
longestLine = arr1[i].length;
}
}
// make all other lines in arr1 the length of the longest line
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
while (arr1[i].length < longestLine) {
arr1[i] += " ";
}
}
// print out the strings
for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
console.log(arr1[i] + " " + arr2[i]);
}
}
