## @xterm/addon-serialize
An addon for [xterm.js](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js) that enables xterm.js to serialize a terminal framebuffer into string or html. This addon requires xterm.js v4+.
⚠️ This is an experimental addon that is still under construction ⚠️
### Install
```bash
npm install --save @xterm/addon-serialize
```
### Usage
```ts
import { Terminal } from "@xterm/xterm";
import { SerializeAddon } from "@xterm/addon-serialize";
const terminal = new Terminal();
const serializeAddon = new SerializeAddon();
terminal.loadAddon(serializeAddon);
terminal.write("something...", () => {
console.log(serializeAddon.serialize());
});
```
See the full [API](https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/blob/master/addons/addon-serialize/typings/addon-serialize.d.ts) for more advanced usage.
