bash-wrapper-node

Module for executing bash commands from within Node.

For Linux/Mac there are no special requirements.

For Windows, this depends on the Linux Subsystem for Windows, and Windows 10 Creators Update. Previous versions of Windows 10 will not work.

Install

npm install @breautek/bash-wrapper

Note: bash-wrapper is deprecated and will no longer receive updates. Use the organization's @breautek/bash-wrapper instead.

string Bash.cwd(string)

void exec(commandString, callback)

Asynchronously executes the commandString. The callback parameters are: (error, stdout, stderr)

Note: Never pass unsanitised user input to this function. Any input containing shell metacharacters may be used to trigger arbitrary command execution.

Buffer execSync(commandString)

Synchronously executes the commandString and returns a buffer containing the stdout.

Note: Never pass unsanitised user input to this function. Any input containing shell metacharacters may be used to trigger arbitrary command execution.
