API

const sh = require('shellraiser')

The sh function spawns a process, it is essentially a thin wrapper around const { spawn } = require('child_process')

const shell = sh(cmd, [args], [opts])

Spawn a process that executes cmd with args given opts.

The arguments to sh are the same as spawn.

Optionally, you can await completion of the process with await sh(cmd, args, opts).

shell.then([fn])

Just like Promise's .then().

shell.catch([fn])

Just like Promise's .catch().

shell.resolve([any])

Forcibly resolve the underlying promise with an arbitrary value, automatically cleans up the underlying process.

shell.reject([any])

Forcibly reject the underlying promise with an arbitrary value, automatically cleans up the underlying process.

const { process } = sh(cmd, [args], [opts])

The underlying process object.

const { promise } = sh(cmd, [args], [opts])

The underlying promise.
