Can it be used with WebSocket?

Yes, the terminal plugin is just a tool responsible for display processing, it belongs to the "display layer", WebSocket is a communication protocol, it belongs to the "network layer", they do not conflict, you can use any network protocol with the plug-in, Http, WebSocket, custom RPC and so on.

Can an SSH client be implemented?

Unfortunately, this cannot be fully implemented. This plugin is a tool displayed by front-end control, SSH belongs to back-end control, and their underlying implementation logic is different.

However, if your usage scenario is just a simple command mode, such as executing ls to get the results from the server and then displaying static data, this is possible. The plug-in implements the processing of static ANSI color control codes. If it is htop, vim, etc. with other ANSI control codes of keyboard, mouse, and window behaviors, this plug-in cannot support it. Such dynamic control codes will be filtered out by the plugin.

Why does it not work after setting the attribute or event name to hump-case?

  • Issue: #41
  • Reason: Vue officially does not recommend using hump case names when emitting events. In order to unify the code style of Vue2 and Vue3, the plugin removes all external camel case names.
  • Solution: Use kebab-case naming conventions, e.g., change @execCmd to @exec-cmd

Undefined appears when pushing messages, and the content cannot be displayed normally

  • Issue: #43
  • Reason: This is caused by the official modification of vue's slotRender in 2.6.13 version. For details, see: vuejs/vue#12153. This terminal plug-in is compiled in the 2.6.14 environment. If you use vue and vue-template-compiler lower than this version in your project, the slot position will be undefined.
  • Solution: Upgrade the versions of vue and vue-template-compiler in the project to 2.6.13 or above, such as 2.6.14
