For commands that pass a significant amount of output to the write function, this prevents the terminal maxing out the CPU and making the UI unresponsive. While commands can still run beyond what they do on the terminal, it is far better with a debounce in place as every single terminal manipulation does not need to be constructed in the DOM. A side-effect of this is that it makes ^C to interrupt a process seem more responsive. Fixes #127 Fixes #126
xterm.js
Xterm.js is a full xterm clone, written in JavaScript.
It is used at SourceLair to help people develop their applications in their browsers.
Xterm.js supplies a modular, event-based interface that lets developers build addons and themes on top of it.
Demo
To launch the demo simply run:
npm install
npm start
Then open http://0.0.0.0:3000 in a web browser.
Addons
Addons are JavaScript modules that attach functions to the Terminal prototype to extend its functionality. There are a handful available in the main repository in the addons directory, you can even write your own (though they may break when the internals of xterm.js change across versions).
To use an addon, just include the JavaScript file after xterm.js and before the Terminal object has been instantiated. The function should then be exposed on the Terminal object:
<script src="node_modules/src/xterm.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/addons/linkify/linkify.js"></script>
var xterm = new Terminal();
// init code...
xterm.linkify();
