hterm

hterm is a JS library that provides a terminal emulator. It is reasonably fast, reasonably correct, and reasonably portable across browsers.

Do not confuse this with an ssh client (like Secure Shell) or a shell environment by itself. It only provides the platform for rendering terminal output and accepting keyboard input.

Requirements

We require ECMAScript 6 (ES6), aka ES2015. If you're using an older runtime, then sorry, you're not supported. Fortunately, all modern browsers today have full ES6 support!

We might use some ES2016+ features as we deem useful, but only ones that can be polyfilled (and we'll include those polyfills by way of libdot). We'll avoid language features (such as await and async) that can't be polyfilled.

Of course, we might slip up and use something that violates these stated goals. Feel free to let us know via the Contact section above! :)
