/* **************************************************************** | |
Create a terminal receiver or server. | |
Currently the server only accepts one connection at a time and | |
does not support SSL. If you wish to use to connect to a | |
terminal over the internet, PLEASE do not use this class as-is. | |
--SERVER------------------------------------------------------- | |
Server requirements: | |
- node-pty | |
- ws | |
Server usage: | |
terminalServer = new Terminal({ | |
role: "server", | |
port: 3000, // 3000 if empty | |
shell: "bash" // Command to run, "bash" by default | |
}) | |
Server events: | |
terminalServer.onopened // Connected to a receiver | |
.ondisconnected // Disconnected from receiver | |
.onclosed // Terminal was exited | |
// Args: code, signal | |
.onresized // Terminal was resized | |
// Args: cols, rows | |
Server methods: | |
None. | |
--CLIENT-------------------------------------------------------- | |
Client requirements: | |
- xterm.js | |
- browser with WebSocket support | |
Client usage: | |
terminalClient = new Terminal({ | |
role: "client", | |
parentId: "someid", // ID of the terminal container element | |
port: 3000, // 3000 if empty | |
host: "127.0.0.1" // Localhost by default | |

Client events: | |
None. | |

@GitSquared Thank you! i managed to do the following:
ws.on('connection', () => {
pty.send('clear\r');
})
This will actually hit Enter inside it.
You can also do something like:
pty.send('echo 10\r')
To execute "echo 10" in the pty.
@ilayalmalem note that \r
is Windows-specific.
@GitSquared strange, cause it seems to work just fine on my MacBook..
seems to be a lot of things missing in this code. How does anyone get this to work?
sorry @djmalc, i don't maintain gists. this code is outdated and will not work with latest versions of xterm.js/node-pty, i think.

@ilayalmalem you can work around that by programmatically sending a
\n
to the PTY after the first time the receiver connects over websocket. It'll cause the shell to print out the prompt again
