Terminal Tab

Open a terminal tab programatically.

Install

npm install terminal-tab -g

Getting started

const terminalTab = require('terminal-tab')

terminalTab.open(`echo "my command"; sleep 2 && exit`)

Options

Child process command options:

const options = {
  cwd: null,
  env: null,
  encoding: 'utf8'
}

terminalTab.open(`echo "my command"`, options)

Event callbacks

terminalTab.open(`echo "my command"`, options, {
  onStdout: (stdout) => {},
  onStderr: (stderr) => {},
  onError: (error) => {},
  onExit: (code, signal) => {
    console.log('exit:', code, signal)
    process.exit(0)
  }
})
