Replace common/*, browser/*, and headless/* path-mapped imports with
relative paths across src/, addons/, test/, and demo/. Remove paths
from all tsconfig.json files and include addon typings directly.

Addon sources import shared code via out-esbuild/ so unit tests resolve
compiled modules with runtime const enums. Fix benchmark bare imports
and normalize corrupted tsconfig formatting.

Resolves #5896

@xterm/addon-webgl

An addon for xterm.js that enables a WebGL2-based renderer. This addon requires xterm.js v4+.

Install

npm install --save @xterm/addon-webgl

Usage

import { Terminal } from '@xterm/xterm';
import { WebglAddon } from '@xterm/addon-webgl';

const terminal = new Terminal();
terminal.open(element);
terminal.loadAddon(new WebglAddon());

See the full API for more advanced usage.

Handling Context Loss

The browser may drop WebGL contexts for various reasons like OOM or after the system has been suspended. There is an API exposed that fires the webglcontextlost event fired on the canvas so embedders can handle it however they wish. An easy, but suboptimal way, to handle this is by disposing of WebglAddon when the event fires:

const terminal = new Terminal();
const addon = new WebglAddon();
addon.onContextLoss(e => {
  addon.dispose();
});
terminal.loadAddon(addon);
