spawn-runtime

Run prebuilt binary based on the process platform and arch

npm i spawn-runtime

Usage

bin/thing

#!/usr/bin/env node
require('spawn-runtime')('thing-runtime', __filename)

Executes bin[thing] from node_modules/thing-runtime-linux-x64/package.json

Export the path

Optionally, the binary path can also be exported to spawn it via code:

index.js

const runtime = require('spawn-runtime')
module.exports = runtime('thing-runtime', 'thing', { spawn: false })

another-project/app.js

const { spawn } = require('child_process')
const thingPath = require('../index.js')

const thing = spawn(thingPath, ...)

API

runtime(name, referrer, [options])

Execs the bin that matches the basename of referrer, from:

node_modules/{name}-{platform}-{arch}/package.json

Available options:

{
  platform: process.platform,
  arch: process.arch,
  spawn: true // Disable it to return the actual binary path instead
}
