JavaScript Terminal Demo

This is a simple demo, using a JavaScript interpreter. (If the cursor is not blinking, click on the terminal to activate it.) You can type any JavaScript expression, there is debug function dir (like in Python).

You can use jQuery's "$" method to manipulate the page. You also have access to this terminal in the "term" variable. Try dir(term) or demo() for demo typing animation.

NOTE: for unknow reason this demo doesn't work on Mobile, but I assure you that the library do works on mobile. Check full screen version. The issue with the demo is tracked on GitHub issue.

JavaScript code:

// ref: https://stackoverflow.com/q/67322922/387194
var __EVAL = (s) => eval(`void (__EVAL = ${__EVAL}); ${s}`);

jQuery(function($, undefined) {
    $('#term_demo').terminal(function(command) {
        if (command !== '') {
            try {
                var result = __EVAL(command);
                if (result !== undefined) {
                    this.echo(new String(result));
                }
            } catch(e) {
                this.error(new String(e));
            }
        }
    }, {
        greetings: 'JavaScript Interpreter',
        name: 'js_demo',
        height: 200,
        prompt: 'js> '
    });
});

You can also try JavaScript REPL Online, with Book about JavaScript and Terminal on 404 Error page (with a lot of features like chat and games).
