Termpage allows you to create neat webpages that behave like a terminal
I wanted to build an effective web interface for my raspberry pi home server without thinking too much about design or ux.
You can see usage demo in the examples folder or let a cow tell your fortune
To use termpage include the lib from CDN or install it from npm.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/termpage.min.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>npm install --save termpage
The easiest way to get started is to drop this code in your index.html and implement your own terminal logic inside command processing function
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>termpage@home</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/termpage.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="termpage-window" style="position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0" id="window"></div>
<script>
Termpage.init(document.getElementById('window'), (command) => {
command = command.toLowerCase().trim();
if (command === 'home') {
return "Welcome to termpage";
} else {
return 'Command not found';
}
}, {
initialCommand: 'home'
});
</script>
</body>
</html>Termpage.init(domElement, commandParser, options)
commandParser = (input) => {
return response;
}input is user input command string
response can be either string or object {text: responseText, commands: ['menuCommand1', 'menuCommand']}
Commands array is used to display command suggestion interface bellow command input. This interface can make life easier for people with mobile devices because they can tap on commands instead of typing them.
List of available options:
{
prompt: '$',
initialCommand: 'home',
autoFocus: true
},Responses can be returned as promises for async commands.
Termpage.replace together with Termpage.link and Termpage.color helpers can be used to format terminal output without losing monospace alignment between lines.
This code would format Cell1 as a html link and Cell2 as span with color
Termpage.replace(
`
------------------
| Cell1 | Cell2 |
------------------
`, {Cell1: Termpage.link('http://home.tautvilas.lt'), Cell2: termpage.color('red')})These default Termpage styles can be freely customized by overriding them with your own css file
