Because sometimes you want to write shell scripts with JavaScript instead of bash.
Uses a fork of shell-escape-tag to escape values.
Usage
const sh = require('shell-tag')
const lsOutput = sh`ls -1`
// => "index.js
// node_modules
// package.json
// readme.md
// test-helper
// test.js"You can even use javascript variables inside your bash code!
const sh = require('shell-tag')
const str = 'say "what"'
const echoOutput = sh`echo ${str}`
// => say "what"Throws errors if a non-0 exit code is returned. Otherwise, returns the string from stdout.
An async version is available:
const sh = require('shell-tag/async')
const str = 'say "what"'
(async() => {
const echoOutput = await sh`cat package.json | grep name`
// => ' "name": "shell-tag",\n'
})()
