Add the following to your HTML head section, it's either index.html or _Host.cshtml depending on whether you're running WebAssembly or Server.

<link href="_content/XtermBlazor/XtermBlazor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

In the HTML body section of either index.html or _Host.cshtml add this:

<script src="_content/XtermBlazor/XtermBlazor.min.js"></script>

Basic Usage

<Xterm @ref="_terminal" Options="_options" OnFirstRender="@OnFirstRender" />

@code {
    private Xterm _terminal;

    private TerminalOptions _options = new TerminalOptions
    {
        CursorBlink = true,
        CursorStyle = CursorStyle.Bar,
        Theme =
        {
            Background = "#17615e",
        },
    };

    private async Task OnFirstRender()
    {
        await _terminal.WriteLine("Hello World");
    }

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@xterm/[email protected]/lib/addon-fit.min.js"></script>

<script src="_framework/blazor.webassembly.js"></script>
<script>navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js');</script>

<!-- Load the XtermBlazor library and register addons -->
<script src="_content/XtermBlazor/XtermBlazor.min.js"></script>
<script>XtermBlazor.registerAddons({"addon-fit": new FitAddon.FitAddon()});</script>

Blazor Server _Host.cshtml

<!-- Add addon-fit.min.js before blazor.server.js and XtermBlazor.min.js -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@@xterm/[email protected]/lib/addon-fit.min.js"></script>

<script src="_framework/blazor.server.js"></script>

    private TerminalOptions _options = new TerminalOptions
    {
        CursorBlink = true,
        CursorStyle = CursorStyle.Bar,
    };

    private HashSet<string> _addons = new HashSet<string>()
    {
        "addon-fit",
    };
