Looking for Contributors

Due to time restrictions, I am not actively maintenaing this library and looking for contributors to help. Feel free to submit your pull requests for any issues or new features, and I'll be happy to review them. Thank you!

Features

  • Mobile support. 📱
  • Customizable commands, prompt and error message. ✅
  • Support callbacks(async/non-async) for commands. 🔄
  • Command history using arrow up and down. 🔼
  • Support for copy/paste. 📋
  • In-built themes and support to create more. 🚀

Installation

Install package with NPM or YARN and add it to your development dependencies:

npm install react-terminal

OR

yarn add react-terminal

Usage

import { ReactTerminal } from "react-terminal";

function App(props) {
  // Define commands here
  const commands = {
    whoami: "jackharper",
    cd: (directory) => `changed path to ${directory}`
  };

  return (
    <ReactTerminal
      commands={commands}
    />
  );
}

Also make sure to wrap the main mountpoint around the TerminalContextProvider. This retains the state even when the component is unmounted and then mounted back:

import { TerminalContextProvider } from "react-terminal";

ReactDOM.render(
  <TerminalContextProvider>
    <App/>
  </TerminalContextProvider>,
  rootElement
);

Creating custom themes

The component comes with few in-built themes: light, dark, material-light, material-dark, material-ocean, matrix and dracula. You can also create custom themes by passing themes parameter in props, as follows:

<ReactTerminal
  commands={commands}
  themes={{
    "my-custom-theme": {
      themeBGColor: "#272B36",
      themeToolbarColor: "#DBDBDB",
      themeColor: "#FFFEFC",
      themePromptColor: "#a917a8"
    }
  }}
  theme="my-custom-theme"
/>
