How do I make a NodeJS Script to do something like os.system on Python?

Question

In Python Script, I can simply make it like this:

import os
import asyncio

async def do_something():
    os.system("pip list")
    
asyncio.run(do_something())

But what about on JavaScript/NodeJS? I see one module named 'os' too in there, but how do I use it?

You can use the child_process library to run bash commands. Example below.

import { exec } from "child_process";


exec("pip list", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  console.log(stdout);
})
