simple-stdout

Run a shell command and get the stdout as a string.

const name = await stdout('git config --get user.name')

That's it. Just a tiny library with no frills.

Install

pnpm add simple-stdout

# or
yarn add simple-stdout

# or
npm install simple-stdout

Usage

import stdout from 'simple-stdout'

const name = await stdout('git config --get user.name')
// 'Gérald Genta'

Need execFile instead? (Safer for untrusted input, no shell injection worries.)

import { stdoutFile } from 'simple-stdout'

const name = await stdoutFile('git', ['config', '--get', 'user.name'])
// 'Gérald Genta'
