Exec

Wrapper around node spawn process to make it easier to use.

Features

Promises

Command is converted to a promise.

const result = await exec("echo Hello World!");
console.log(result); // Hello World!

Command parser

Spaces are trimmed.

const result = await exec("echo Hello     World!");
console.log(result); // Hello World!

Quotes and double quotes can be used to don't trim spaces.

const result = await exec("echo 'Hello     World!'");
console.log(result); // Hello     World!

Other arguments are take literally.

const result = await exec("echo", "Hello     World!");
console.log(result); // Hello     World!

You can use array of strings to make it easier to read.

await exec("program", { env: {} }, [
  ["--option", "value"],
  ["--option", "value"],
  ["--option", "value"],
]);
