ExTerm

Description

ExTerm is an IEx console LiveView component. The IEx console is responsible for converting your interactions with the browser into erlang IO protocol so that you can execute code from your browser.

Installation

1. Add ExTerm to your mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    # ...
    {:ex_term, "~> 0.1"}
    # ...
  ]
end

1. Connect the ex_term CSS:

• if you're using a css bundler, add to your "app.css" (or other css file in your assets directory)

  @import "../../deps/ex_term/lib/css/default.css";

• you may need a different strategy if you aren't using a css bundler.

1. Create a live view in your routes

• as a standalone liveview

  scope "/" do
    pipe_through :browser
    pipe_through :extra_authorization
  
    live "/", ExTerm
  end

• you can also use it as a live component!

  <.live_component module={ExTerm}/>
