- Add composite TypeScript projects for common/primitives and common/runtime - Decouple primitives from runtime (buffer service interfaces, UnicodeProperties, CellTypes, etc.) - Move Types.ts to runtime; re-export primitive types from runtime/Types - Rename src/browser -> src/target-browser, src/headless -> src/target-headless - Update import paths (target-browser/*, target-headless/*) across repo - Fix esbuild outbase so common/* and target-* resolve under out-esbuild/ - Point unicode addons at primitives for UnicodeTypes/UnicodeProperties - Update ARCHITECTURE.md and AGENTS.md Co-authored-by: Daniel Imms <Tyriar@users.noreply.github.com>
@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);
