BASH-like Synchronous Commands for JavaScript Shell (jssh)

Future goal of this project is to implement in JavaScript shell commands for usage in jssh shell.

Currently, this package borrows almost all of its functionality from shelljs.

This package does not load all the commands from disk on startup but only once the command is actually executed for the fist time.

Usage

This package was created to be used with jssh JavaScript shell, rather than standalone.

If you want to use a stable, tested version of synchronous shell-like commands in JavaScript use shelljs, which is tested in practice and unit-tests. Most of the commands in this package are proxied to shelljs, anyways.

However, is you still want to use this package, just like with shelljs, you can export the commands to global namespace and write your synchronous scripts in JavaScript:

require('jssh-api-jssh/global')

html = GET('example.com')
html.to('example.html')
echo('Saved page to "example.html"')

ip = IP()
echo('Your IP is: ' + ip)

Or CoffeeScript:

require 'jssh-api-jssh/global'

html = GET 'example.com'
html.to 'example.html'
echo 'Saved page to "example.html"'

ip = IP()
echo 'Your IP is: ' + ip
