runasync v2.0.0
This is a simple module to execute a JavaScript file that exports (as a default)
a ES2017 async
function (or a function that returns a ES2015 Promise
).
To use async
function's you must have Node.js v7.6.0 or higher, where as for native
support for Promise's requires Node.js v4.0.0
installation
$ npm i runasync
usage
programmatically via require()
const runAsyncFile = require( "runasync" );
async function main() {
const run = await runAsyncFile( "./async-app"/*[, optionalArgs], optionalCallback*/ );
run.result // the returned result, if any (as long as there was no error)
run.error // if there was an error, this is where you'de find it
}
via the cli
$ runasync ./async-app arg1 arg2
why?
Simply for the ease of executing an async method via the cli and having its error thrown to the console in a cleaner manner instead of also receiving a
unhandled
error from Node.js and/or the Promise.A simpler way to chain script tasks together, rather then calling
require( "child_process" ).spawn
