proc

Maybe the easiest way to run child processes in Deno ever.

The Old API

The documentation for the legacy API is available at Legacy Documentation.

TO use the old API:

When the new API is ready, there will be a 1.0 release and mod.ts will be switched to the new API. The old API will continue to be maintained at mod1.ts for some time after the Deno 2.0 release.

The old API was built on Deno.run() which is now deprecated and scheduled to be removed in Deno 2.0. There were other reasons to start over from scratch, but this was the primary reason everything changed.

The New API

The documentation is available at https://j50n.github.io/deno-proc/.

To use the new API:

The new API is stabilizing and the code is working. New tests are being added regularly. Obviously the documentation is a work in progress. Refactors are likely before the 1.0.0 release.

The new API is a nice way to work with AsyncIterable in general. It also blends in a really nice way to work with child processes where things like errors just work and you don’t have to worry about resource leaks.
