Access Child Process API from Electron through Angular Service
npm install ngx-childprocessBased on the ngx-electron package this wraps the child_process node API for Angular applications which are running inside an electron app
ngx-childprocess can be installed easily using either yarn or npm commands in the scope of an angular project.
``
$ yarn add ngx-childprocess --saveor
$ npm install ngx-childprocess --save
ngx-childprocess is exposing a module called NgxChildProcessModule which needs to be imported in your AppModule.
` typescript`
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgxChildProcessModule} from 'ngx-childprocess';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
NgxChildProcessModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
Once the module has been imported, you can easily use angular DI to ask for ChildProcessService.
` typescript``
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {ChildProcessService} from 'ngx-childprocess';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private _childProcessService: ChildProcessService) { }
}
