# XProcess

An external process wrapper which uses events to communicate with its invoker.

## Sample usage

```javascript

const XProcess = require('xprocess');

let xProcess = XProcess.createClient();

xProcess.run('node', './child.js');

xProcess.send({

  text: 'Hey child, wake up it\'s time for school!'

});

xProcess.on('message', (msg) => {

  console.log(`Child: ${msg.text}`);

});

xProcess.on('disconnect', () => console.log('Child disconnected'));

xProcess.on('exit', () => console.log('Child exit'));

xProcess.on('close', () => {

  console.log('Parent: Okay, child is in class - I\'m off to work where I\'ll deal with bigger kids.');

});

```

## Sample test

Run parent.js in test folder:

```

$ node parent.js

Parent: Hey child, wake up it's time for school!

Child: Hey mom, five more minutes?

Child: Okay, okay, I'm getting getting up right now!

Child: What's for breakfast?

Child: Mom, where are my jeans?

Child: Can I get 10 bucks for lunch?

Child: I'm late for school can you drive me?

Child: Thanks mom see you at 3pm.

Child disconnected

Child exit

Parent: Okay, child is in class - I'm off to work where I'll deal with bigger kids.
