BufferedNodeProcess Extended

Like BufferedProcess, but accepts a Node script as the command to run.

This is necessary on Windows since it doesn’t support shebang #! lines.

Examples

  const [BufferedNodeProcess](../BufferedNodeProcess/) = require('atom')

Methods

::constructor(options)

Runs the given Node script by spawning a new child process.

Argument Description

options

An Object with the following keys:

command

The String path to the JavaScript script to execute.

args

The Array of arguments to pass to the script (optional).

options

The options Object to pass to Node’s ChildProcess.spawn

      method (optional).

stdout

The callback Function that receives a single argument which

     contains the standard output from the command. The callback is
     called as data is received but it's buffered to ensure only
     complete lines are passed until the source stream closes. After
     the source stream has closed all remaining data is sent in a
     final call (optional).

stderr

The callback Function that receives a single argument which

     contains the standard error output from the command. The
     callback is called as data is received but it's buffered to
     ensure only complete lines are passed until the source stream
     closes. After the source stream has closed all remaining data
     is sent in a final call (optional).

exit

The callback Function which receives a single argument

   containing the exit status (optional).
