xterm.dart is a fast and fully-featured terminal emulator for Flutter applications, with support for mobile and desktop platforms.

This package requires Flutter version >=3.0.0

• 📦 Works out of the box No special configuration required.

What's new in 3.0.0:

• 📱 Enhanced support for mobile platforms.
• ⌨️ Integrates with Flutter's shortcut system.

1. Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
 ...
 xterm: ^3.2.6

2. Create the terminal:

import 'package:xterm/xterm.dart';
...
terminal = Terminal();

Listen to user interaction with the terminal by simply adding a onOutput callback:

terminal = Terminal();
terminal.onOutput = (output) {
 print('output: $output');
}

3. Create the view, attach the terminal to the view:

import 'package:xterm/flutter.dart';
...
child: TerminalView(terminal),

4. Write something to the terminal:

terminal.write('Hello, world!');
