Cash: Javascript for cross-platform Unix Shell

Cash: Javascript for cross-platform Unix Shell

 

 

Cash is a cross-platform Unix shell that is purely implemented by ES6 (Javascript). It can be used in windows and has been subjected to over 200 strict and comprehensive unit tests.

Introduction

Cash's github address isHereYou can think of Cygwin, but Cash also has other features:

1. Non-local Compilation

2. There is no trouble with DLL files

3. Any terminal is available

4. Only Cygwin is about 15 minutes long.

Cash actually has a special significance. It replaces the ">" sign with "$", which is the currency symbol, representing the concept of "answering questions.

> cash$

 

 

 

Of course, Cash looks like bash, but it does.

Do you want to use it? What you need to do is:

> npm install cash -g> cash$

 

Now let's try "combining Chinese and Western" to mix Windows and Unix commands:

$ ipconfig | grep IPv4 | sortIPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :10.10.40.50IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :192.168.100.11$

However, if you want to enable Cash separately, you can set it to take effect globally:

> npm install cash-global -g> ls –lah

Of course, if you only want some commands, you can:

> npm install cash-ls -g> npm install cash-grep –g

What's amazing is that if you want to use it during programming, you can call it like this:

const $ = require('cash');const out = $.ls('.', {l: true});

 

Isn't it convenient enough? The following is the example:

const out = $('ls -lah');

Of course, if you want to have a better programming experience for Unix commands, see Shell. JS.

Security and experience

Because Shell. although JS and the Cash mentioned in this article provide you with a Unix shell experience, it will be better in terms of security and some details, because these Unix commands are simulated by the javascript library, they return javascript objects.

Let's take a look at the following:

Cash implementation:

$('ls');// 'node_modules\n'$('echofoo > foo.txt');

 

Implementation of Shell. JS:

ls();// ['node_modules'];echo('foo').to('foo.txt');

 

By the way, I have another project named Vorpal written in Node. js.

Alias
