I have converted my angular project to an electron one using this tutorial and now I want to run a powershell script in my app.component.ts. How would I achieve this? I tried using exec and child_process but that would not work.
a.ps1:
$a = Get-ExecutionPolicy
write-host $a
app.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
title="basic-app";
constructor() {}
ngOnInit() {this.onPress()}
onPress() {
const { exec } = require('child_process');
const scriptPath="C:/Users/conra/Desktop/a.ps1";
exec(
`powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "${scriptPath}"`,
(error, stdout, stderr) => {
console.log(stdout)
}
);
}
}
I expected to be able to use require but I got the following error:
Error: src/app/app.component.ts:16:26 - error TS2591: Cannot find name 'require'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/node` and then add 'node' to the types field in your tsconfig.
16 const { exec } = require('child_process');
I did the instructions and there was no change in output. Thanks!
