ceed v1.0.2

ceed

Set of JS async utils making building pipelines in JS easier

Library is taking advantage of ES2017 async/await functionality to allow creating more readable scripts performing command operations.

Install

$ npm install --save ceed

Running

You need node 6+ with the --harmony flag or installed babel-cli

node --harmony app.js

or

./node_modules/.bin/babel-node app.js

Example app.js

const {
    run,
    commit,
    maybe
  } = require('ceed');

(async function () {
    await commit('mkdir -p build', {}, {verbose: true});

	const build = await maybe('bash ./script.sh -o build');

	if (build.failed) {
	  //handle fail
	  console.log('Failed with: ' + build.code);
	}

	const builtItems = await run('ls', {
	  cwd: 'build'
	}).catch(err => {
	  //handle run promise rejection
	});

	buildItems.values.forEach(file => {
		console.log(`${file} built successfully`);
	});

})();

API

Package exports three methods that share the same API with different way of handling errors.

• ceed.run(command: string, [execOptions]: Object, [ceedOptions]: {verbose: false})
• ceed.maybe(command: string, [execOptions]: Object, [ceedOptions]: {verbose: false})
• ceed.commit(command: string, [execOptions]: Object, [ceedOptions]: {verbose: false})

See node.js child_process.exec options for all execOptions

ceedOptions:

• verbose: boolean - output result of every command. Default false.

You can set verbose option globally by setting env variable CEED_VERBOSE to true.

ceed.run

Run is a basic method which wraps child_process.exec into Promise interface.

You can catch failed commands using Promise .catch(fn) syntax.

ceed.maybe

Maybe works like run, except when the command fails Promise is still resolved successfully. You can get script exit code and status checking .succeed, .failed or .code property in resolved object.

ceed.commit

Commit works like run, except on fail it throws an error instead of rejecting the promise and it outputs more failure details

Resolved/Rejected object structure

{
	code: number | string, //script return code
	error: Error, //.exec failure error object
	failed: boolean, //is .code different than 0
	succeed: boolean, //oposite of failed
	output: string, //value of stdout
	value: string, //trimmed .output
	values: Array<string>, //trimmed .output splitted by lines
	stderr: string // value of stderr
}
