Term

A simple library for manipulating the terminal.

Features

• Allows you to deal with Unicode escape characters more easily.
• Offers a very simple an efficient API with minimal abstraction.
• Includes information on every function and constant through JSDoc comments.

Supported features from the standards

• All ASCII Control characters such as BEL, LF, and ESC.
• All Fe Escape sequences such as ESC N, ESC [, and ESC \.
• All Control Sequence Introducer sequences such as ESC [ ? A, ESC [ ? ; ? H, and ESC [ ? m.

Unsupported features from the standards

• Select Graphic Rendition 38 and 48 alternative version (colon-separated) as per ISO 8613-6. It's hardly ever used and overly complicated.
• Operating System Command sequences.
• Fs, Fp, and nF Escape sequences. (The control characters for these are defined, but there are no functions for using them more easily.)

Non-ANSI-complient terminals, such as the Windows Command Prompt from version before 10.1511, are not supported; that includes Windows 7, and 8. Additionally, not all features may work the same way on all systems/terminals, due to implementation inconsistencies and deviations from the standards.

If you have a legitamite use for any of these features, open an Issue and I'll see if I can implement it. The main challenge with these is finding documentation on them. Alternatively, of course, you can also do the work yourself and submit a Pull Request :)
