PHP-NodeJS-Executor

by #thespielplatz

A small, simple PHP class for executing Node.js files.

Problem

In certain scenarios, you may need to execute a Node.js script from a PHP environment. While it's common to have a Node.js server running, setting one up might require significant effort. This class offers a straightforward solution.

What It Does

• Verifies if PHP can execute Node.js and stores the version.
• Executes a script, returning the output and the exit code. (Refer to Node.js Process Exit Codes for details.)

Example Usage

require 'NodeJSExecutor.php';

$executor = new NodeJSExecutor();
$executor->run("test.js");

echo "Exit Code: " . $executor->exitCode . "<br>";
echo "Result: " . $executor->result . "<br>";

Exceptions

The class can trigger two exceptions:

• Node.js is not found (checks the result of node --version).
• The specified JavaScript file is not found.
