Package Exports

execSync

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (execSync) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

execSync

Executes shell commands synchronously.

Motivation

Simplifies build scripts.

Express 3 has asynchronous templates and helper functions are synchronous. Some of my helper functions invoke compilers with async interfaces. I use this library in DEVELOPMENT mode to precompile files on the fly through the command line.

NOT RECOMMENDED on production servers.

Install

npm install execSync

Usage

Require it

var execSync = require('execSync');

Execute shell commands. exec interlaces stdout and stderr to result.stdout.

var result = execSync.exec('echo $USER; echo some_err 1>&2; exit 1');
console.log('return code ' + result.code);
console.log('stdout + stderr ' + result.stdout);

Legacy helper functions

Capture STDOUT

var user = execSync.stdout('echo $USER');
console.log('Hello ' + user);

Get result code

var code = execSync.code('echo $HOME');
console.log('result ' + code);
