jQuery Terminal is a JavaScript library for creating command-line interpreters in your applications. You can use this JavaScript Terminal library to create interactive web-based terminal applications on your website. Where commands are defined by you. You can define them on the server or in the browser's JavaScript. It can automatically call JSON-RPC service when the user types a command. Alternatively, you can provide an object with methods; each method will be invoked on the user's command (the python command can create python interpreter). An object can have nested objects which will create a nested interpreter (you can create an interactive menu of adventure games with this). You can also use a function in which you can parse user commands by yourself (you have full control of what users type into the terminal). It's ideal if you want to provide additional functionality for power users.
Features
- You can create an interpreter for your JSON-RPC service with one line of code (just use url as first argument)
- Support for authentication (you can provide functions when users enter login and password or if you use JSON-RPC it can automatically call login function on the server and pass token to all functions)
- Stack of interpreters - you can create commands that trigger additional interpreters (eg. you can use couple of JSON-RPC service and run them when user type command)
- Command Tree - you can use nested objects. Each command will invoke a function (own REPL), if the value is an object it will create a new interpreter and use the function from that object as commands. You can use as many nested object/commands as you like. If the value is a string it will create JSON-RPC service.
- Support for command line history, it uses Local Storage if possible
- Support for tab completion
