Lightweight terminal

[cbou]

It would be nice to have an example without all the Windows and Tab stuff.

Just one terminal which fit his html container.

It would be easier to embed tty.js in a Web-App.

index.html is a nice presentation but it's a too complicated example.

Do you have some examples in this way ?

[fbstj]

that would be awesome, +1

Good idea. I have some simple tests that benchmark the terminal inside the browser. That's pretty much all it is, just a single terminal on a single page. I've really been meaning to add it to the repo for a while.

I've also been thinking of moving static/term.js to a separate repo, but at the same time, it is the heart and soul of tty.js, so it should probably stay.

I also think that client side and server side are too closed to separate them. I would be nice if you can push this small test.

I second this request, it would be nice to have a simple single terminal per chrome window.

totally agree that this would be great +1.

I've been wanting this also - preferrably size-aware, so that it sizes the terminal to frame size... i.e. something like:

window.onresize = function ()  {                                                                                                                                     
    windowSize();  
    /* resize terminal code here */                                                                                                                                                  
     }

function windowSize() {                                                                                                                                             
  if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {                                                                                                                   
    //Non-IE                                                                                                                                                        
    myWidth = window.innerWidth;                                                                                                                                    
    myHeight = window.innerHeight;

@risacher, yeah, that's not a bad idea either. Maybe we could just make it full screen anyway.

Kind of a late announcement, but to everyone else who posted in this thread, there is an example available of a simple terminal: https://github.com/chjj/tty.js/tree/master/example

[nmg1986]

I want this also +1

[howardroark]

:+1: Would be great to just open a page in a browser and start cracking away.

On a side note... It would also be nice to be able to place buttons below the window which act as "Macros"... Say a "build" button that just drops a command into the tty and runs it.
