spawn-inline v1.0.5

Spawn inline

Simple wrapper for spawn() function to make it work with await and line-command without need of array of attributes.

Usage sample:

const spawnInline = require('spawn-inline');
await spawnInline('git status', {cwd: 'repo-dir'}, (text, err) => console.log(text));
// or
await spawnInline('git status', 'repo-dir');

Function attributes

async function (command, options, callback)

• command - text command to spawn, e.g. 'git status'
• (optional) options - original child_process.spawn options
  https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback
  It can be a string - in this case parameter counts as "cwd" option (working directory)
• (optional) callback - function to call on stdout or stderr, if not specified - will call process.stdout.write/process.stderr.write

Callback

function (out, err)

• text - text output of called command
• err - boolean, indicates if error occured
