Terminal Instance

Terminal instance is the main API that allow you to interact with the jQuery Terminal library. To access the terminal instance you can use return value from terminal call. Or access it with this keyword inside methods.

const term = $('body').terminal({
    echo(...args) {
        this.echo(args.join(' '));
    }
}, {
    checkArity: false,
    greetings: false
});

term.echo('Welcome to my terminal');

In above code you code we disabled the terminal and call echo on terminal instance in term constant. We also use this.echo(...) to implement echo command.
