How can I execute a command from Typescript and output to cmd prompt

Question

I would like to execute a command from inside a typescript file.

• The typescript file doesn't have to continue, ideally it would end.
• The command and all its output would be output to screen, as if it was run from command prompt.

I have tried this without success

var exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('npm run start', (err, stdout, stderr) =>console.log(stdout));

What you are looking for is spawn:

const { spawn } = require('child_process')

spawn('npm run start', [], { shell: true, stdio: 'inherit' })
