Looking for Contributors
Due to time restrictions, I am not actively maintenaing this library and looking for contributors to help. Feel free to submit your pull requests for any issues or new features, and I'll be happy to review them. Thank you!

Installation
Install package with NPM or YARN and add it to your development dependencies:
npm install react-terminalOR
yarn add react-terminalUsage
import { ReactTerminal } from "react-terminal";
function App(props) {
// Define commands here
const commands = {
whoami: "jackharper",
cd: (directory) => `changed path to ${directory}`
};
return (
<ReactTerminal
commands={commands}
/>
);
}Also make sure to wrap the main mountpoint around the TerminalContextProvider. This retains the state even when the component is unmounted and then mounted back:
import { TerminalContextProvider } from "react-terminal";
ReactDOM.render(
<TerminalContextProvider>
<App/>
</TerminalContextProvider>,
rootElement
);Creating custom themes
The component comes with few in-built themes: light, dark, material-light, material-dark, material-ocean, matrix and dracula. You can also create custom themes by passing themes parameter in props, as follows:
<ReactTerminal
commands={commands}
themes={{
"my-custom-theme": {
themeBGColor: "#272B36",
themeToolbarColor: "#DBDBDB",
themeColor: "#FFFEFC",
themePromptColor: "#a917a8"
}
}}
theme="my-custom-theme"
