A node.js wrapper of pacapt plus batch-pacapt
npm install --save https://github.com/Grenadingue/node-pacapt
Note: For now, you need to execute this command inside a git repository, or it will fail saying that an error occured during npm install while trying to git submodule update --init

pacapt.S(['foo']); // --noconfirm -S
pacapt.Suy([]); // --noconfirm -Suy
// All arguments starting with -S -U -R are automaticaly precedeed by --noconfirm
// Or you can use these aliases
pacapt.install(['foo']); // pacapt.S()
pacapt.updateDatabase(); // pacapt.Sy()
pacapt.update(['foo']); // is an alias of `install`, you need to `updateDatabase()` before using `update()`
pacapt.updateAll(); // pacapt.Suy()
pacapt.remove(['foo']); // pacapt.R()
// Local informations retrieving, not mandatory, see next section for more information
pacapt.init();const pacapt = require('node-pacapt');
// Local informations retrieving
// If you need to retrieve the name of the local package manager
// If you need to check if an operation is implemented on the current operating system
pacapt.init().then(() => {

});- All methods styles (
pacapt.exec(),pacapt.S(),pacapt.install()) work the same way, using promises - Both
thenandcatchoutput objects are constructed the same way

exitCode: null, // null if an error occured before pacapt execution
error: null // null is no error thrown
