Exec

A convenient async wrapper for Node.js's child_process.exec function.

import exec from '@simplyhexagonal/exec';

const {
  execProcess,
  execPromise,
} = exec('echo hello world');

const successResult = await execPromise;

// successResult {
//   "exitCode": 0,
//   "stdoutOutput": "hello world\n",
//   "stderrOutput": ""
// }

import exec from '@simplyhexagonal/exec';

const {
  execProcess,
  execPromise,
} = exec(
  '>&2 echo hello world && exit 1'
).catch((e) => e);

const failResult = await execPromise;

// failResult {
//   "exitCode": 1,
//   "stdoutOutput": "",
//   "stderrOutput": "hello world\n"
// }

import exec from '@simplyhexagonal/exec';

const {
  execProcess,
  execPromise,
} = exec('sleep 2; echo hello world');

execProcess.kill('SIGINT');

const killResult = await execPromise;

// killResult {
//   "exitCode": null,
//   "stdoutOutput": "",
//   "stderrOutput": ""
// }
