how do I use my python script in a typescript file? Like how do I link it ? I have to traverse a xml file which I have a python code which updates some details and wanted to use it in the typescript server file.
Like the server should update some details in a xml file. this update functionality is implemented in python and I wanted to use it in the typescript server code.
You can run the python script in node using exec(): https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_processexeccommand-options-callback
A minimal example assuming you have python3 installed on the machine running your node script could be:
// shell.py
print('printed in python')
// server.js
import {exec} from 'child_process'
//if you don't use module use this line instead:
// const { exec } = require('child_process')
exec('python3 shell.py', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) {
console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
}
else if (stderr) {
console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
}
else {
console.log(stdout);
}
})
// using it in the shell
% node server.js
// should output this:
printed in python
This way you could traverse your XML file, change it and output it to the js/ts file, or save it as a file and just read that via your js/ts code.
