Terminal emulator for browsers

This repository got inspired by SDA/terminal

Live Demo

Quickstart

Browser

Download or clone this repository or the dist folder and add it to your project.

Add following to the head in your HTML file:

<link href="/path/to/web-termjs/dist/terminal.min.css">
<script src="/path/to/web-termjs/dist/terminal.min.js"></script>

Add a container which will hold the terminal like this:

<body>
    <div id="terminal"></div>
</body>

Add another script after the terminal.min.js (in <script> tags or in a extra file) and add following example:

var container = document.getElementById('terminal');
var term = new terminal.Terminal({
        welcome: 'Hi! :D',
        prompt: '',
        separator: '$',
        theme: 'dark'
    })
    .openIn(container)
    .onCommand(commands);

function commands(cmd, args, stream) {
    if (cmd === 'test') {
        stream.write('succeed');
    }
    stream.close();
}

Or just run the index.html in example folder.

NodeJS

Download the package from NPM.

npm install --save web-termjs

Then import it and create the terminal.

JavaScript

const Terminal = require('web-termjs').Terminal;

const term = new Terminal()
    .openIn(...)
    .onCommand(...);

TypeScript

import { Terminal } from 'web-termjs';

const term: Terminal = new Terminal()
    .openIn(...)
    .onCommand(...);

Angular 5 Example

app.component.html
<div #terminal></div>
app.component.ts
import { Component, ViewChild, ElementRef, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Terminal, Stream } from 'web-termjs';
import { Options } from 'web-termjs/lib/options';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  @ViewChild('terminal') terminal: ElementRef;
  term: Terminal;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    const options: Options = {
      welcome: 'Hello!',
      prompt: '',
      separator: '>',
      theme: 'light'
    };
    this.term = new Terminal(this.terminal.nativeElement, this.onCommand, options);
  }

  onCommand(cmd: string, args: string[], stream: Stream) {
    stream.write('Ok!');
    stream.close();
  }
}

Custom Themes

Create a CSS file with following content which you can specify (with examples):

# Font
.terminal-custom-name {
	color: black;
	font-family: monospace;
}

# Links
.terminal-custom-name a {
	color: #000;
}

# Background
.terminal-custom-name .background {
	background: #fff;
}

# Styles for the whole container
.terminal-custom-name .background .term-container {
    text-shadow: none;
    padding: 4px;
}

# Prompt
.terminal-custom-name .prompt {
	color: #02f;
}

Add this CSS file after terminal.css to your project. Then you can define your theme in the options parameter

theme: 'custom-name'

or set it with

term.setTheme('custom-name');
