React Native Terminal Component

An open-source JavaScript terminal emulator library, that works in your browser, Node.js and React.

React Native Terminal Component

This is a React Native wrapper around rohanchandra's extensible javascript-terminal emulator. The goal of this library is to provide a consistent and easily-portable React Native interface to javascript-terminal.

Demo

Features

  • In-memory file system, backed by Immutable.js
  • Selected *NIX commands emulated (such as ls, cd, head, cat, echo, rm)
  • Command parsing
  • Support for environment variables
  • Autocompletion of terminal commands

For more information, please check out the original repo. Whilst you're there, you should follow @rohanchandra.

Installation

Install with npm or with yarn.

npm install react-native-terminal-component --save
yarn add react-native-terminal-component

Usage

import React from 'react';
import { Alert } from 'react-native';
import Terminal from 'react-native-terminal-component';

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Terminal
        style={{
          flex: 1,
        }}
        commandMapping={{
          alert: {
            function: (Terminal, opts) => {
              Alert.alert(
                opts
                  .join(' '),
              );
            }
            optDef: {},
          },
        }}
      />
    );
  }
}

Examples

This library does not prescribe a method for displaying terminal output or the user interface, so I've provided examples in Node.js, pure JavaScript/HTML/CSS and with React/JavaScript/HTML/CSS:

  1. View the /demo-cli directory for an example of usage in Node.js
  2. View the /demo-web directory for an example of usage in plain HTML and JavaScript
  3. Visit the React Terminal Component website for usage with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React
  4. View the /demo-rn directory for an example of usage in React Native.

Building

Set-up

First, make sure you have Node.js, Yarn and Git installed.

Now, fork and clone repo and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/Cawfree/react-native-terminal-component
cd react-native-terminal-component/
yarn install

Scripts

Build scripts

  • yarn build - creates a development and production build of the library in lib
  • yarn build-rn - generates the react-native wrapper interface stored in demo-rn/terminal.min.js for the component (this must be re-ran for each modification made to react-native.wrapper.js)

Test scripts

  • yarn test - run tests
  • yarn test:min - run tests with summary reports
  • yarn test:coverage - shows test coverage stats
  • yarn artifact:coverage-report - creates HTML test coverage report in .nyc_output

Demo scripts

  • yarn cli - demo of using the emulator library in a Node.js command-line interface (this requires you have built the library with yarn build)
