## Installation
To install Xterm-Svelte, run the following command in your project directory:
```bash
npm install @battlefieldduck/xterm-svelte
```## Usage
Here's a basic example of how to use xterm-svelte in your SvelteKit application:
```svelte
import { Xterm, XtermAddon } from '@battlefieldduck/xterm-svelte';
import type {
ITerminalOptions,
ITerminalInitOnlyOptions,
Terminal
} from '@battlefieldduck/xterm-svelte';let terminal: Terminal;
let options: ITerminalOptions & ITerminalInitOnlyOptions = {
fontFamily: 'Consolas'
};async function onLoad() {
console.log('Child component has loaded');// FitAddon Usage
const fitAddon = new (await XtermAddon.FitAddon()).FitAddon();
terminal.loadAddon(fitAddon);
fitAddon.fit();terminal.write('Hello World');
}function onData(data: string) {
console.log('onData()', data);
}function onKey(data: { key: string; domEvent: KeyboardEvent }) {
console.log('onKey()', data);
}```
## FAQ
### When should I use `onLoad()`?
The `onLoad()` function fires when the xterm terminal is first initialized. You can use this function to perform actions such as initializing xterm addons.
### Why is the `terminal` undefined?
One possible cause is that you called the `terminal` function before it was initialized. For example, if you run the `terminal` function in the `onMount` function without wrapping it with `if (terminal !== undefined)`, it can lead to this issue.
