shelljs-plugin-open

A ShellJS plugin for the open() command to open a file (or URL) with its default application. This is largely based on opener.

This is designed to imitate the open command on macOS. Here's the equivalent commands for other systems:

macOS

$ open file.txt # opens in a text editor

Linux

$ xdg-open file.txt # opens in a text editor

Windows
```
> start file.txt
```

Installation

$ npm install --save shelljs
$ npm install --save shelljs-plugin-open

Usage

ShellJS unofficially has the capacity for plugins (the API is likely to change a bit) since v0.7.1. Although we don't recommend developing for this yet, this plugin is designed to test that API, and we will adapt it along with changes to ShellJS up until official plugin support. To use this plugin, you must use exactly version v0.7.1 (although, eventually this will support v1.0.0+).

To use this plugin in your project, include it like so:

var shell = require('shelljs');
require('shelljs-plugin-open');

// Ex. usage:
shell.open('file.txt'); // the plugin is now available!

Supported systems

Linux (all variants)
macOS
Windows

This is supported for Node v0.11+

Writing plugins

If you're interested in taking a look at the current state of the plugin API, take a look at index.js. This has helpful comments explaining the necessary boilerplate for writing a plugin. For an example usage of the plugin, take a look at test/test.js.
