Simple task to execute commands.

Proudly made with ♥ in Valencia, Spain, EU.

Install

npm install justo-plugin-cli

Use

const cli = require("justo-plugin-cli");

To run a command, the task must be called as follows:

cli(justoOpts, opts : object) : object

The opts parameter:

• cmd (string). The command to execute.
• arg (string). The only argument.
• args (string or string[]). The arguments to pass.
• wd or workDir (string). The working directory.
• stdin (string). The standard input.
• exitCode (number). Exit code expected. Default: 0. If undefined, the exit code is not kept in mind.
• output (boolean). Show the standard output? Default: false.
• bg (boolean). Run in background? Default: false.

When the task is executed in foreground, and waits for ending, returns an object with the following properties:

• stdout. The standard output.
• stderr. The standard error.
• exitCode. The exit code.

Example:

//foreground: wait for ending
cli("Transpile", {
  cmd: /^win/.test(os.platform()) ? "babel.cmd" : "babel",
  args: [
    "--presets", "es2015",
    "--retain-lines",
    "--no-comments",
    "-d", "build/es5",
    "index.js",
    "lib/op.js"
  ]
});

//background: not wait for ending
cli("Start PouchDB Server", {
  cmd: /^win/.test(os.platform()) ? "pouchdb-server.cmd" : "pouchdb-server",
  args: ["-n", "-o", "localhost", "-p", 5985, "-m"],
  bg: true
});
