node:child_process

#Import

import child_process from "nstdlib/node/child_process";

Note

The API is available, but not everything works. No process spawning.

#Support

node:child_process. nstd: works. Browser: works; export coverage 100%.

  • nstd: Gives the same output as Node.js in side-by-side tests: spawn, scm-rights.
  • Browser: Loads with a minimal process object. 9 of Node's 9 exports are available. 1 of 1 behavior checks match Node.js.

#Exports (9)

Every name Node.js exports from this module, and what you get when you read it, as a named import or as a property of the default import:

  • ✅ A value, both ways. An export that throws an error naming the missing feature also counts.
  • ⚠️ A value one way, undefined the other.
  • ❔ undefined both ways.
  • ❌ Not exported at all.
  • – Not measured.

#Diagnostics

nstdlib running inside Node.js. This isn't an environment it's meant for, so it isn't shown above, but it tells a library problem from an environment one:

  • coverage: 9/9 of the host's export names answer inside host node. API only. No process spawning.
  • smoke: Imports in a clean child process.
