tinyexec is a lightweight Node.js library offering a simplified interface for executing shell commands. It streamlines the process of spawning child processes and capturing their output, handling errors gracefully with promise-based asynchronous execution. tinyexec is ideal for smaller applications where you don't want the overhead of more complex process management libraries, providing a minimal API for running shell commands and getting results back efficiently.
The npm package tinyexec had bursts of releases in July and August 2024, followed by sporadic updates until December 2024. There were no releases between January and February 2025. There was a burst of two releases in March 2025, and no releases between April and August 2025.
tinyexec downloads saw explosive growth, starting from zero in early 2024 and peaking in August 2025 at 77.9 million. September 2025 downloads are currently at 27.6 million, indicating a potential slowdown, but the month is not yet complete.
