Install

This project requires Node.js >=10.13.0. Install it using yarn or npm.
We highly recommend to use Yarn when you think to contribute to this project.

$ yarn add @tunnckocore/execa

API

Generated using docks.

src/index.js

.exec

Uses execa v2, execa.command() method. As stated there, think of it as mix of child_process's .execFile and .spawn. It is pretty similar to the .shell method too, but only visually because it does not uses the system's shell, meaning it does not have access to the system's environment variables.

It also can accept array of multiple strings of commands that will be executed in series.

Params

• cmds {string|Array<string>} a commands to execute, if array of strings executes them serially
• opts {object} directly passed to execa and so to child_process

Returns

• Promise resolved or rejected promises

Examples

import { exec } from '@tunnckocore/execa';
// or
// const { exec } = require('@tunnckocore/execa');

async function init () {
  await exec('echo "hello world"', { stdio: 'inherit' });

  // executes in series
  await exec([
    'prettier-eslint --write foobar.js',
    'eslint --format codeframe foobar.js --fix'
  ], { stdio: 'inherit', preferLocal: true });
}

init();

.shell

Same as .exec method, but also can accept an array of multiple commands that will be executed in the system's shell, meaning that it can access the system's environment variables from the command.

Params

• cmds {string|Array<string>} a commands to execute, if array of strings executes them serially
• opts {object} directly passed to execa.shell method.

Returns

• Promise resolved or rejected promises

Examples

import { shell } from '@tunnckocore/execa';
// or
// const { shell } = require('@tunnckocore/execa');

async function init () {
  // executes in series
  await shell([
    'echo unicorns',
    'echo "foo-$HOME-bar"',
    'echo dragons'
  ], { stdio: 'inherit' });

  // exits with code 3
  try {
    await shell([
      'exit 3',
      'echo nah'
    ]);
  } catch (er) {
    console.error(er);
    // => {
    //  message: 'Command failed: /bin/sh -c exit 3'
    //  killed: false,
    //  code: 3,
    //  signal: null,
    //  cmd: '/bin/sh -c exit 3',
    //  stdout: '',
    //  stderr: '',
    //  timedOut: false
    // }
  }
}

init();

execa

Same as execa's default export, see its documentation.
