Automatic Terminal Resizing
This feature allows the terminal to automatically resize to fit its container. The code sample demonstrates how to initialize the xterm.js terminal, load the fit addon, and fit the terminal to its container. It also shows how to make the terminal responsive to window resize events.
const { Terminal } = require('xterm');
const { FitAddon } = require('xterm-addon-fit');
const terminal = new Terminal();
const fitAddon = new FitAddon();
terminal.loadAddon(fitAddon);
// Attach the terminal to a DOM element
terminal.open(document.getElementById('terminal-container'));
// Fit the terminal to the container
fitAddon.fit();
// Optionally, you can fit the terminal whenever the window is resized
window.addEventListener('resize', () => fitAddon.fit());The xterm-addon-web-links package is another addon for xterm.js that automatically turns URLs in the terminal into clickable links. While it does not provide resizing functionality, it enhances the terminal's interactivity by making URLs clickable.
The xterm-addon-search package adds search functionality to the xterm.js terminal, allowing users to search for text within the terminal. This addon focuses on enhancing the usability of the terminal by providing search capabilities, unlike xterm-addon-fit which focuses on resizing.
The xterm-addon-attach package allows the xterm.js terminal to attach to a WebSocket stream, enabling real-time communication with a backend server. This addon is useful for creating live terminal sessions, whereas xterm-addon-fit is focused on resizing the terminal.
