Term
A simple library for manipulating the terminal.
Features
- Allows you to deal with Unicode escape characters more easily.
- Offers a very simple an efficient API with minimal abstraction.
- Includes information on every function and constant through JSDoc comments.
Supported features from the standards
- All ASCII Control characters such as
BEL,LF, andESC. - All Fe Escape sequences such as
ESC N,ESC [, andESC \. - All Control Sequence Introducer sequences such as
ESC [ ? A,ESC [ ? ; ? H, andESC [ ? m.
Unsupported features from the standards
- Select Graphic Rendition 38 and 48 alternative version (colon-separated) as per ISO 8613-6. It’s hardly ever used and overly complicated.
- Operating System Command sequences.
- Fs, Fp, and nF Escape sequences. (The control characters for these are defined, but there are no functions for using them more easily.)
Non-ANSI-complient terminals, such as the Windows Command Prompt from version before 10.1511, are not supported; that includes Windows 7, and 8. Additionally, not all features may work the same way on all systems/terminals, due to implementation inconsistencies and deviations from the standards.
If you have a legitamite use for any of these features, open an Issue and I’ll see if I can implement it. The main challenge with these is finding documentation on them. Alternatively, of course, you can also do the work yourself and submit a Pull Request :)
