hypernal

Renders terminal output as html to simplify reusing server side modules in the browser.

Example

main.js

var term = require('hypernal')();
term.appendTo('#terminal');
 
var difflet = require('difflet')({
      indent : 2 
    , comma : 'first'
    , comment: true
    });
 
var diff = difflet.compare({ a : [1, 2, 3 ], c : 5 }, { a : [1, 2, 3, 4 ], b : 4 });
term.write(diff);

browserify-build.js

require('browserify')()
  .require(require.resolve('./main.js'), { entry: true })
  .bundle()
  .pipe(require('fs').createWriteStream(__dirname + '/bundle.js'), 'utf-8');

index.html

<body>
  <div id="terminal"></div>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="./bundle.js"></script> 
</body>

index.css

#terminal {
  width         :  600px;
  height        :  400px;

API

hypernal(options:Object)

creates a render only terminal and returns an interface to interact with it as described below.

options:

  • allow overriding { cols: Number, rows: Number } of the terminal, which generally is not necessary Note:
    • number of cols will be applied to any row
    • number of rows will indicate how many rows to add initially, but more will be added if needed

term.tail:Boolean

  • when set to true, the terminal will automatically scroll to the bottom when more lines are added than fit in its container

term.appendTo(elem:String|Object)

appends the terminal to the given DOM element.

term.write(s:String)

writes the given string to the terminal.

term.writeln(s:String)

writes the given string to the terminal and adds a line break.

term.reset()

clears the terminal

Kudos

hypernal is basically a trimmed down version of tty.js focused on and improved for rendering only.
