Can built without NodeJS if xterm.js is prebuilt or load from cdn just like https://github.com/cs01/pyxtermjs
pyxtermjs is a implemention by python, but it only have no more than 200 lines of code. Can the solution reconsitution to make it more easier to understand?
Yeah fair point about it being a bit convoluted, this used to be a personal playground for me to learn about pty's and building a custom real-time messaging protocol. It used to be even more complex when all the pty logic was still in this project, but I won't go there since this is already abstracted in a separate project. I have been thinking about improving this and issues like this one https://github.com/nickvdyck/webtty/issues/148 will definitely help. So the codebase will become easier over the coming weeks, but getting it down to just 200 lines of code is not going to happen in C# 😄 .
At the moment there is a hard need for NodeJS in order for this project to build. I have no plans to implement it in such a way that loading all deps from a CDN is possible. But I have been thinking about separating concerns so that there are clear API boundaries and a dotnet library that would make this possible with just a few lines of code.
