Sprinter
Replace bash scripts with Deno!
Designed for piping files, streams, strings
How to use
const { run, Timeout, Env, Cwd, Stdin, Stdout, Stderr, Out, Overwrite, Append, zipInto, mergeInto, returnIt, } = await import(`https://deno.land/x/sprinter@0.2.0/index.js`)
// runs async
run("echo", "hello")
// wait for a command
await run("echo", "hello")
// get outcome
var { success, exitCode } = await run("echo", "hello").outcome
// send stdin (a string, a file, or a stream)
await run("cat", Stdin("Bang\n")).outcome
// send stdin, but later
var {stdin} = run("cat", Stdin())
// send a string
stdin.send("Bang\n")
// or send raw bytes (normally from reading a file or stream directly)
stdin.send(new TextEncoder().encode("Bang Bang\n"))
// (cant send file objects and streams yet, but maybe in the future)
// CLOSE IT! otherwise the process will never end!
await stdin.close()
// get output string as return value
const pathToGrep = await run("which", "grep", Out(returnIt))
console.debug(`pathToGrep is:`,pathToGrep)
// append to a file (give a path or a Deno file object)
var success = await run("which", "grep",
Stdout(Overwrite("./grep_path.txt")),
Stderr(AppendTo("./errors.log")),
).success
// report status
var process = run("sleep", "5")
let int = setInterval(() => {
console.log(`process.isDone? is:`,process.isDone)
if (process.isDone) {
clearInterval(int)
}
}, 1000);
await process
// create timeouts
var { success, exitCode } = await run("yes", Stdout(null), Timeout({ gentlyBy: 100, waitBeforeUsingForce: 500}))
// do a manual timeout
var process = run("yes", Stdout(null))
setTimeout(() => {
process.kill() // uses force
}, 100)
await process
// do an even more manual timeout
var process = run("yes", Stdout(null))
setTimeout(() => {
// ask to please stop
process.sendSignal("SIGINT")
setTimeout(() => {
if (!process.isDone) {
// murder it
process.sendSignal("SIGKILL")
}
}, 200)
}, 100)
ToDo:
- Allow direct passing of one process.stdout to another commands Stdin()
- Allow stdin.send() to accept files and streams as input
- Add a callback for incrementally getting string data out of stdout/stderr
