Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

The problem

cross-spawn is a cross platform solution to node's spawn. However, it doesn't provide a mechanism for "killing" the process after it's begun (in a cross platform manner).

This solution

This solution provides a kill function on the child returned from spawn which will kill the corresponding process when invoked. It does not work with spawn.sync as the process will be finished before your code could run anyway.

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed as one of your project's dependencies:

npm install --save cross-spawn-with-kill

Usage

const spawn = require('cross-spawn-with-kill')
const child = spawn('webpack')
child.kill() // <-- that's the ✨ magic ✨ extra function

Inspiration

Big thank you goes to @mysticatea for his original work on npm-run-all from which this project was derived.

Other Solutions

There are none that I'm aware of. The issue on cross-spawn requesting this feature was rejected. Hence the creation of this module.
