The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I am creating a web application where i want to open ssh terminal (https://github.com/huashengdun/webssh) with an event listener on frontend and spawn() method in backend nodejs. I built an api to trigger that command from front-end but the problem is that the it's returning stderr which is fine but how can i handle that in my frontend as i want to show the terminal in but my api is not giving any response. Is there any other way to make this script.
This is my nodejs file where i am passing data from axios and executing the
wsshcommand to start the webssh.
const child = spawn('wssh', [\${body.cert_option}`, `${body.key_option}`, `--log-file-prefix=/var/www/html/myPanel/logs/terminal.log`]);child.stdout.on('data', (data) => {console.log(`stdout: ${data}`);return res.status(500).json({success: 0,data: data});})child.stderr.on('data', (data) => {console.log(`stderr: ${data}`);return res.status(200).json({success: 1,data: data});});child.on('error', (error) => {console.log(`error: ${error}`);return res.status(500).json({success: 0,message: "SSH connection error",error: error});});child.on('exit', (code, signal) => {if (code) {console.log(`child process exited with code ${code}`);}if (signal) {console.log(`child process exited with signal ${signal}`);}});});`PS: my project is not completely on nodejs, only the api.
So here is something i want to create like this (source: aapanel):
