Write JavaScript to electron
, get console output back!
Boot a hidden electron instance, log to stdout and clean up:
var electron = require('electron-stream');
var browser = electron();
browser.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.write('console.log(window.location.href);');
browser.write('window.close();');
browser.end();
electron-stream
lets you read all of the console output together, or split up into stdout
and stderr
:
// console.log and console.error
browser.pipe(...);
browser.stdall.pipe(...);
// console.log only
browser.stdout.pipe(...);
// console.error only
browser.stderr.pipe(...);
To install as a library:
$ npm install electron-stream
To install as a binary:
$ npm install -g electron-stream
$ echo "console.log('foo');window.close()" | electron-stream
To use electron on travis, add this to your travis.yml:
addons:
apt:
packages:
- xvfb
install:
- export DISPLAY=':99.0'
- Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
- npm install
Create a writable stream around a newly spawned electron
which forwards written data to electron
. This module bundles electron-prebuilt.
Options:
show
: Show the electron window. Defaults tofalse
.node
: Enable node integration. Defaults tofalse
.basedir
: Set this if you need to require node modules innode
modestatic
: Serve static files from this directory at/
Readable streams containing the console output. console.log
will be forwarded to .stdout
, console.error
to .stderr
. .stdall
has them both.
Kill the child process.
Emitted when the underlying electron
exits. There can be multiple reasons for this:
electron#kill()
was calledwindow.close()
was sent as a script- there was a fatal error
