Package Exports

rxjs-shell

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 (rxjs-shell) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

rxjs-shell

travisci

rxjs operators for execute shell command with ease.

Features

Wrap nodejs asynchronous process creation methods to rxjs Observable.
Kill child process when unsubscribed.
Use subject to communicate with child process.

Functions

exec(command[, options]) → Observable<string>

options interface is same with nodejs exec method

import {exec} from 'rxjs-shell';

exec('echo Hello World')
  .subscribe(output => {
    console.log(output); // Hello World\n
  });

execFile(file[, args][, options]) → Observable<string>

options interface is same with nodejs execFile method

import {existSync} from 'fs';
import {execFile} from 'rxjs-shell';

execFile('./touchFile.sh')
  .subscribe(() => {
    console.log(existSync('touched.txt')); // true
  });

spawn(command[, args][, options]) → Observable<Buffer>

spawn emits stdout, stderr's buffer from command execution.
options interface is same with nodejs spawn method

import {spawn} from 'rxjs-shell';

spawn('git clone http://github.com/johnny-mh/rxjs-shell-operators')
  .pipe(tap(buf => process.stdout.write(String(buf))))
  .subscribe();

fork(modulePath[, args][, options]) → Observable<Buffer>

same with spawn but have own options interface that extend nodejs fork options to communicate with child process.

import {fork} from 'rxjs-shell';
import {Subject} from 'rxjs';

const send = new Subject<string>();
const recv = new Subject<string>();

recv.subscribe(msgFromChildProc => console.log(msgFromChildProc));

fork('echo.js', undefined, {send, recv}).subscribe();

send.next('message to child process');

Operators

trim(encoding = 'utf8') → Observable<string | Buffer>

trim child process output

import {exec, trim} from 'rxjs-shell';

exec('echo Hello').subscribe(output => console.log(output)); // Hello\n

exec('echo Hello').pipe(trim()).subscribe(output => console.log(output)); // Hello

Utility Methods

spawnEnd(spawnObservable: Observable) → Subject<void>

spawn emit each buffer from child process. if you want to connect other operator to this stream. use spawnEnd method.

import {spawn, spawnEnd} from 'rxjs-shell';

spawn('webpack', ['-p'])
  .pipe(outputChunk => { /* each child process's output buffer */ })
  .subscribe();

spawnEnd(spawn('webpack', ['-p']))
  .pipe(webpackOutput => { /* do something */ })
  .subscribe();
