SvelteKitSystemCall

Skeleton project with a route that makes a system call using the spawn() function from the child_process module. The route is accessed by hitting the /api.json endpoint. For example: http://localhost:3000/api.json if you have deployed your web server locally. The endpoint will present the terminal output of a directory listing of the project directory.

tl;dr => the server runs `ls -al` and your browser displays the output.

Note: Try some other commands, but note that arguments are treated as seperate elements and placed in an array, so ping -c 10 8.8.8.8 will turn into ping, [-c, 10, 8.8.8.8] when passed as parameters to spawn().

Before running the server

Here is a preemptive purple jelly bean. Congrats!

# before running the server
npm install

Note: If you're using GitPod, this is all turn key, including VSCode extensions, and HMR.

Running a development server

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building a production server

Before creating a production version of your app, install an adapter for your target environment. Then:

npm run build

You can preview the built app with npm run preview, regardless of whether you installed an adapter. This should not be used to serve your app in production.
