bpipe
Advanced tools
Readme
bpipe
is a command line tool which allows you to create readable and writable streams between standard Unix Pipes and the browser.
npm install bpipe -g
Usage: bpipe [server] [options]
server: the location of the `bpipe-server` to connect to
Defaults to localhost:8001
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-s, --selector [string] the CSS selector to attach to
-e, --event [string] the DOM event to attach to
-u, --url [string] the url to connect to
A hosted bpipe-server
service is available at http://bpipe.io. This allows the use of bpipe
without needing to setup a server.
You can also run a local server using the following command:
bpipe-server
open index.html
<input>
to less
bpipe -s "#myInput" -e "keyup" | less
Whenever the select box is changed in the browser, the new value will be piped to less
<select>
box to less
bpipe -s "#mySelect" -e "change" | less
Whenever the select box is changed in the browser, the new value will be piped to less
echo
to a div's innerHTMLecho "hello there" | bpipe -s "#myDiv"
When this command is run the browser will update with "hello there"
bpipe
will only work if the custom .js
file is loaded on the page you wish to interact with. You will also need to run a websocket server to facilitate communication between the browser and bpipe
. A server and browser bundle are both included in this project. A free bpipe
service is also available at http://bpipe.io
In the not so distant future perhaps browsers will natively support this type of interaction. Until then, we polyfill.
tail
?Of course! You can use any standard Unix tool. If you want to use tail
it should work by creating a temporary file or named piped.
less
also works pretty well.
node bpipe.js -s "#mySelect" -e "change" > /tmp/select.log
tail -f /tmp/select.log
If anyone is interested in contributing to the project I would be glad to add additional contributors / owners.
The current build is functional, but should be considered experimental. With a little more polish, bpipe
could be a useful tool. If anyone wants to help further develop this tool feel free to reach out or start opening up pull requests.
