Package Exports

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

Readme

spawn-default-shell

Spawn shell command with platform default shell

Like child_process.spawn but with shell benefits. You can just pass the command as a string, and it will be executed in the platform default shell.

// If we are in Linux / Mac, this will work
const defaultShell = require('spawn-default-shell');
const child = defaultShell.spawn('cat src/index.js | grep function');

Platform	Command
Windows	`cmd.exe /c "..."`. If `COMSPEC` env variable is defined, it is used as shell path.
Mac	`/bin/bash -c "..."`
Linux	`/bin/sh -c "..."`

You can always override the shell path by defining these two environment variables:

SHELL=/bin/zsh
SHELL_EXECUTE_FLAG=-c

Install

npm install spawn-default-shell --save

API

.spawn(command, [opts])

Spawns a new process of the platform default shell using the given command.

For all options, see child_process documentation.
