exec-bin
Run any binary files / executables within your npm scripts.
What it does
Running binary files / executables within npm scripts works if it's either part of an installed package (node_modules/.bin
) or globally
installed. A binary that exists someplace else, e.g. in the project root, cannot easily be executed.
exec-bin is here to help! It's a (very!) small Node.js script that you can use to run binary files / executables, with all parameters being forwarded automatically. Fantastic!
How to install
You can get the exec-bin via npm by adding it as a new devDependency to your package.json
file and running
npm install
. Alternatively, run the following command:
npm install exec-bin --save-dev
Requirements
- exec-bin requires NodeJS 12 (or higher) to be installed
How to use
Use exec-bin within your package.json
scripts. For example:
{
"scripts": {
"build": "exec-bin path/to/my/binary --first-parameter=foobar --second-boolean-parameter"
}
}
