blastoise-shell v1.0.0

Blastoise Shell

Blastoise Shell is an easy way to setup child process pipelines, execute them, and easily interact with their standard streams. A lot like Bash, but using Node.

Installation:

$ npm install --save blastoise-shell

Quick example:

let { cat, echo, rm, vim } = require('blastoise-shell');

async function main() {
    let fileName = 'hello.txt';

    await echo(`Hello, world!`)
        .map(x => x.replace('Hello', 'Hi'))
        .sed('s/world/folks/')
        .writeTo(fileName);

    await vim(fileName);

    await echo(`File contents after editing:`);
    await cat(fileName);

    await rm(fileName);
}

main().catch(console.error);
