Node Js Shell

Execute shell, bash command or file asynchronously from Node.js scripts and get user-definable type of output.

Install

npm install --save-dev njshell

Methods

exec(cmd, type, filename, encoding):

cmd

Command String (required)

type

Type of output: stdout(default), string, buffer, stream, vinyl.

filename

Only required when type of output is "vinyl".

encoding

Default utf-8.

execLocal(cmd, type, filename, encoding):

Same as "exec" but uses npm package's local path "node_modules/.bin/..." as of executable directory.

Usage

const shell = require('njshell');

shell.exec('npm view njshell version')
     .then((v) => console.log(v));

// outputs 1.2.4...

shell.exec('dir')
     .then((dir) => console.log(dir));
