xterm.js | A terminal for the web | Command Line Interface library

I just want to be able to include xterm.js and the addon, and it should work. But I am totally lost on how to import the attach xterm-addon-attach in my index.html as a script.

They mention to import the libs via ES6 which give me various errors like: “Can’t find "Terminal" in xterm.js”. I put the import statements in another .js file, and sourced that in my HTML code with the type="module" attribute, but I get that error.

Wasted a few hours on this, and I’m afraid this is probably simple to do and I’m just missing something simple.

Can anyone help me understand how to get past this and use xterm and the attach addon? Just using xterm alone is fine.

Here’s the loadxterm.js:

I'm trying to figure out why dockerode stream directs all data written to the stream directly to the output of the stream.

This is how I create the container, I call the .write() method on the this.stream object.

I'm trying to create a web page where the user will press a button, and it will send some code presented in a div to the terminal which will be executed, I would then want the live output of that code to be displayed in a terminal like window on my page.

I have looked at some ways to do this but haven't really found anything that allows this type of use case.

I saw a way a terminal can be displayed on a webpage as mentioned here using xterm.js but there doesn't seem to be much documentation as to how to link this with an actual terminal to display live output. However, I'd assume it is done via some form of web sockets to capture the output.

I have also seen ways on how to send commands to a terminal using child_process.exec in node.js but I'm struggling to find anything to link the two together.

I don't want the users to be able to interact or run code from the terminal window on the page I would just like it to show the output of the code when they press the button.

Does anyone know of any technologies that could facilitate this kind of use case? Possibly something in Python but my webpage currently uses html and javascript. I understand this won't be possible with just client side code and I will need a server side langauge but preferably something that intergrates with javascript nicely.

Thanks

I want to click a button and send a linux command such as "ls" to be executed on xterm.js terminal. Is there a way to do this?

Pty pseudo-terminal written in Go is running remotely and I'm using xterm.js as the front end component.

I have a websocket url created by AWS. URL is created by aws ssm start session using .net sdk. Start session method gives me streamUrl, token and session ID. URL is in following format:

Struggling to get using xtermjs, and have some questions which aren't covered in the official documentation, at least I didn't find.

1. I understand that when I use some app within the terminal, for example, Vim terminal need to be switched to alternate buffer, after I quit from the app, terminal switched back to the normal buffer. Is this right?

1. To switch between buffers (and overall to control terminal behavior) I need to use a control sequence. It isn't something unique to xterm.js, but the common pattern and control sequence is unified between terminals?

1. Control sequence to switch to the alternate buffer is CSI ? Pm h with parameter 47 according to documentation:

DECSET DEC Private Set Mode CSI ? Pm h Set various terminal attributes.

Where

paramAction 47 - Use Alternate Screen Buffer.

1. How to use this control sequence with xterm.js, for example, I want to switch to alternate buffer. What string should be used in terminal.write(...)?

I am trying to develop a web console using php and xterm.js,

I managed to get the pseudo tty allocated and attach it to xterm.js via websocket but I am not able to tell the process what is the size of terminal to make it work correctly with the size, and I couldn't find any documentation for this.

I am trying to develop a "console" in pyqt. Similar to xterm.js where all the console is, is front end it does not spawn any sub-processes its just an I/O for me to plug in whatever I want to at a later date.

are there any existing python packages or simple widgets I can use that would allow me to put a terminal like interface within my pyqt application?

its a client server application so the terminal is used to send commands to the backend server and retrieve output as if it were a bash shell (for example)

I'm trying to add a terminal to a web application with xterm.js and its 'attach' addon. I'd like to just have a process running in a Docker container, and then attach the xterm instance to stdin/stdout for the container. The example for the attach addon indicates that this should be straightforward using the websocket interface for container attachment with docker.

I haven't yet been able to do this successfully, but it's possible that it's purely a problem with my local configuration. A github issue for xterm.js leaves it a bit ambiguous whether this should actually work now, based on changes to the docker API. Has anyone had success with this using a modern version of docker?
