I have a MongoDB installation and configuration script as needed by the company.
Install_MongoDB.BAT
But I would like to automate this process by including in the project in TypeScript. I would like to insert commands that I created in .bat and include in a Project already completed and then Generate an Executable with Electron.
How could I enter the CMD commands within TypeScript? What would be the best way?
To execute a command on the terminal using TypeScript, you can use the exec function of the native library of% Node child_process . With it, you can do:
import { exec } from 'child_process'
exec("mkdir test", (err, stdout, stderr) => {
if (err) {
// Caso o Node não consiga efetuar o comando
return console.error(err)
}
// Resultado do programa
console.log('stdout: ${stdout}')
// Caso o node execute mas o comando encontre algum erro
console.log('stderr: ${stderr}')
})
This code will execute the command on the terminal mkdir test creating the directory test if all goes well. You can adapt the code to meet your needs with Electron. It is worth mentioning that this code must be run in main of Electron, which is the one that has access to the Node library. From there, you can use the events, for through the client to call the code in the "backend".
