node-shell-batcher v1.3.0

node-shell-batcher

A CLI for running batches of shell commands on folders.

How to Use

npx node-shell-batcher <path>

npx node-shell-batcher ./path/to/batch.js

npx node-shell-batcher ./path/to/batch.json

Batch File (required argument)

node-shell-batcher requires the path to a "batch" file, which must contain an array of objects. These objects will need to at least contain a path to a folder, and a command to run on each file in that folder.

Example Batch File

let batch = [
  {
    path: './path/to/folder',
    command: 'cat'
  },
  {
    path: './path/to/another/folder',
    command: filename => {
      return `cat "${filename}"`;
    }
  },
  {
    path: './path/to/yet/another/folder',
    command: 'cat',
    filter: filename => {
      return filename.endsWith('.txt');
    }
  },
  {
    path: './path/to/folder2',
    command: [
      'cat',
      'cat',
      filename => {
        return `cat "${filename}"`;
      }
    ]
  }
];

module.exports = batch;
