# childish-process [![version npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/childish-process.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/childish-process)

A simpler way to call spawn or exec of `child_process`.

Makes it easy to call spawn with custom event-handlers.

Makes options easy to template, extend, invoke strategies,

generating event-handlers that can notify, for example.

## Use

[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/childish-process.png?mini=true)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/childish-process)

```javascript

var run = require('childish-process');

```

- `run(command[, options]);` same as `child_process.spawn` though using [cross-spawn-async](https://github.com/IndigoUnited/node-cross-spawn-async) for better Windows support

- `run(command[, options], callback);` delegates to `child_process.exec`

The options may include a "childish" key with custom event handlers for any of:

`"stdout"`, `"stderr"`, `"error"`, or `"close"`.

It's unlikely that node will ever add a childish option to its `child_process`.

See the [`handlers` function](https://github.com/orlin/childish-process/blob/active/index.coffee)

and its defaults for what can be overridden via `childish` options.

### Configuration

The configuration options are getting a huge upgrade, to be documented and probably tested.

Meanwhile, example usage can be found in [datomiki](https://github.com/datomicon/datomiki)'s

`gulpfile.js` and `notifications.json`,

while [gulp-npm-test](https://github.com/orlin/gulp-npm-test) is an example for code usage.
