How to import xterm into NodeJS-CodePudding

I want to use xterm in NodeJS app but it doesn't work. I am using node version v16.15.0, npm version v8.5.5, xterm version 4.18.0. In documentation (https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js), it says importing is made by writing new ES6 syntax with import Terminal from 'xterm';. I am also adding "type": "module" into package.json, but I am getting: ReferenceError: self is not defined showing some line in xterm.js.

My source code:

import Terminal from 'xterm';
const path = require('path')
const express = require('express')
const dotenv = require('dotenv')
const morgan = require('morgan')
const exphbs = require('express-handlebars')
const session = require('express-session')
const WebSocket = require('ws')

const wss_dashboard = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 7070 })

my package.json:

{ 
  ...
  "type": "module",
  ...
}

How can I fix that?

CodePudding user response：

You should try reloading your Node.js server and run the file again.

Adding "type": "module" to the package.json worked for me.

Also try adding {} tho the import:

import { Terminal } from 'xterm';

CodePudding user response：

Your import is not correct

Should be

import { Terminal } from 'xterm';

Not

import Terminal from 'xterm';
