I need to run a shell script file using nodeJS that executes a set of Cassandra DB commands. Can anybody please help me on this
inside db.sh file.
create keyspace dummy with replication = {'class':'SimpleStrategy','replication_factor':3}
create table dummy (userhandle text, email text primary key , name text,profilepic)
You can execute any shell command using the shelljs module
const shell = require('shelljs')
shell.exec('./path_to_your_file')
You could use "child process" module of nodejs to execute any shell commands or scripts with in nodejs. Let me show you with an example, I am running a shell script(hi.sh) with in nodejs.
hi.sh
echo "Hi There!"
node_program.js
const exec = require('child_process').exec;
var yourscript = exec('sh hi.sh',
(error, stdout, stderr) => {
console.log(stdout);
console.log(stderr);
if (error !== null) {
console.log(`exec error: ${error}`);
}
});
Here, when I run the nodejs file, it will execute the shell file and the output would be:
Run
node node_program.js
output
Hi There!
You can execute any script just by mentioning the shell command or shell script in exec
callback.
Hope this helps! Happy coding :)
you can go:
require('./myScript.sh');
just make sure to add shebang in bash script.
#! /bin/bash
