There is the php.js library, see JavaScript nl2br:

function nl2br (str, is_xhtml) {
    // Converts newlines to HTML line breaks  
    // 
    // version: 1109.2015
    // discuss at: http://phpjs.org/functions/nl2br

    // *     example 1: nl2br('Kevin\nvan\nZonneveld');
    // *     returns 1: 'Kevin\nvan\nZonneveld'
    // *     example 2: nl2br("\nOne\nTwo\n\nThree\n", false);
    // *     returns 2: '<br>\nOne<br>\nTwo<br>\n<br>\nThree<br>\n'
    // *     example 3: nl2br("\nOne\nTwo\n\nThree\n", true);
    // *     returns 3: '\nOne\nTwo\n\nThree\n'
    var breakTag = (is_xhtml || typeof is_xhtml === 'undefined') ? '' : '<br>';

    return (str + '').replace(/([^>\r\n]?)(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)/g, '$1' + breakTag + '$2');
}
