process-types

Small utility classes to create reusable and configurable child_process types. Classes include basic defaults for quickly working with both spawn and exec.

Example Usage

require base class

var Spawn = require('process-types').Spawn;

download process

// Show std stream
var downloadProcess = new Spawn({
  'stream': true,
  'logger': function (str) {
    console.log('DOWNLOADING: ' + str);
  }
});

downloadProcess.run({
  'cmd': 'wget',
  'args': [src, '-P', dest]
}, next);

install process

// Spawn hides std streams by default
var installProcess = new Spawn()

installProcess.run({
  'cmd': 'apt-get',
  'args': ['install', '-y', '']
});

Test

npm test

Todos

• support for readline/stdin
• exit code differences between exec and spawn on stderr
