exec-pod

Run a pod subcommand and buffer the output like child_process#execFile does

const execPod = require('exec-pod');

execPod('search', ['AWS']).then(output => {
  output; //=> '-> AWSAPIGateway (2.2.7)\n   Amazon Web Services SDK for iOS ...'
});

Installation

Use npm:

npm install exec-pod

and make sure CocoaPods is installed.

API

const execPod = require('exec-pod');

execPod(subcommand [, args, options])

subcommand: String (one of the pod subcommands to run, e.g. install)
args: Array of strings (arguments passed to the command)
options: Object
Return: Promise instance

It runs the given pod subcommand and returns a Promise instance.

When the command finishes successfilly, it will be fulfilled with the command output.

When it fails to run the command or the command itself fails, it will be rejected with an error.

execPod('install', ['AFNetworking'], {bundleExec: true}).then(output => {
  output; //=> 'Updating spec repo `master` ... '
});

Options

All child_process#execFile options and bundleExec option (described below) are available.

options.bundleExec

Type: Boolean
Default: false

true runs the pod command with bundle exec, instead of using globally installed pod.
