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"
