In an open letter, JavaScript community leaders urge Oracle to give up the JavaScript trademark, arguing that it has been effectively abandoned through nonuse.
@types/shelljs
Advanced tools
@types/shelljs provides TypeScript type definitions for the shelljs library, which is a portable (Windows/Linux/OS X) implementation of Unix shell commands on Node.js. It allows you to perform shell operations such as file manipulation, directory navigation, and command execution within a Node.js environment.
File Manipulation
This feature allows you to perform various file operations such as copying, removing, and moving files.
const shell = require('shelljs');
// Copy a file
shell.cp('source.txt', 'destination.txt');
// Remove a file
shell.rm('file.txt');
// Move a file
shell.mv('old.txt', 'new.txt');
Directory Navigation
This feature allows you to navigate directories and list files within a directory.
const shell = require('shelljs');
// Change directory
shell.cd('/path/to/directory');
// List files in a directory
shell.ls();
Command Execution
This feature allows you to execute shell commands and handle their output and exit codes.
const shell = require('shelljs');
// Execute a command
if (shell.exec('echo "Hello, World!"').code !== 0) {
shell.echo('Error: Command failed');
shell.exit(1);
}
The child_process module in Node.js provides the ability to spawn child processes, which can be used to execute shell commands. Unlike shelljs, it does not provide a high-level API for file and directory manipulation, but it offers more control over the execution of commands.
fs-extra is a module that extends the built-in fs module with additional file system methods. It provides methods for file and directory manipulation similar to shelljs but does not include command execution capabilities.
execa is a modern alternative to child_process. It provides a simpler API for executing shell commands and handling their output. It does not include file and directory manipulation features like shelljs.
