Working in Javascript apps, you might have to use shell commands to retrieve some informations or execute some treatments.
So here is the snippet to do it!
Code
const childProcess = require('child_process');
async function sh(cmd_to_execute) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
childProcess.exec(cmd_to_execute, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
if (err) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve({stdout, stderr});
}
});
});
}
You can use this function which will return you the result of the command.
I hope it will help you! 🍺
