Mash (npm package)
This project creates a simplified shell abstraction in Typescript.
Commands operate via ASCII character streams and optional arguments.
Parsing & bash-like syntax is supported for combinations of commands.
Since the interface is constrained, aggregation of behavior is trivial. This is the true power of the shell.
How it works
Mash expects two streams to be passed to it. These are both ASCII character streams.
- STDIN represents a stream of user input.
- STDOUT is a stream Mash will write results to.
It is up to you to display this stream.
