Now that we no longer support IE we can raise the minimum ES target a bit. Changing to es2015 shaves off ~17% from the main bundle size, also it prevents generators from being transpiled into regular functions etc. so I would guess it has the potential to give some general performance improvements too. For fun I also tried to raise it to es2022, this gave a slightly bigger bundle than es2015 so I think es2015 could be an ok target unless we need something newer for some reason.
xterm-addon-canvas
An addon for xterm.js that enables a canvas-based renderer using a 2d context to draw. This addon requires xterm.js v5+.
The purpose of this addon is to be used as a fallback for the webgl addon when better performance is desired over the default DOM renderer, but WebGL2 isn't supported or performant for some reason.
Install
npm install --save xterm-addon-canvas
Usage
import { Terminal } from 'xterm';
import { CanvasAddon } from 'xterm-addon-canvas';
const terminal = new Terminal();
terminal.open(element);
terminal.loadAddon(new CanvasAddon());
See the full API for more advanced usage.
