interface TtydTerminal extends Terminal {
    fit(): void;
}

declare global {
    interface Window {
        term: TtydTerminal;
    }
}

ttyd exposes the xterm.js Terminal instance via window.term, and a fit() function on it (see fit addon).

Use Cases

• Programmatically sending input from the client (#620)

  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.src = 'https://unpkg.com/keysim@latest/dist/keysim.js';
  script.onload = function() {
  	var input = document.querySelector('textarea');
  	var keyboard = Keysim.Keyboard.US_ENGLISH;
  	keyboard.dispatchEventsForInput("ls", input);
  	keyboard.dispatchEventsForAction("enter", input);
  };
  document.body.appendChild(script);
  

• How to paste+execute (simulate pressing Enter on Xterm.js) (#979)

  term.paste("whoami");
  document.querySelector("textarea.xterm-helper-textarea").dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keypress', {charCode: 13}))
  

  If you are using an iframe, you must first access its contentWindow and contentDocument just like

  document.getElementById('youriframeid').contentWindow.term.paste("whoami");
  document.getElementById('youriframeid').contentDocument.querySelector("textarea.xterm-helper-textarea").dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keypress', {charCode: 13}))
