// default import (asynchronously)

import npx from 'node-npx';

// named import is also supported

import { npx, npxSync } from 'node-npx';

// kill port 8080

const childProcess = npx('fkill', ['-f', ':8080'])

childProcess.on('exit', () => {

  console.log('port 8080 was killed!')

})

// remove dist folder and list contents

npxSync('rimraf', ['dist']);

npxSync('glob', ['dist/**/*'], {

  cwd: process.cwd(),

  stdio: 'inherit',

});
