A usage example from the sync-child-process README.

jsFull README ↗
import {SyncChildProcess} from 'sync-child-process';
// or

const node = new SyncChildProcess('node', ['--interactive']);

for (;;) {
  if (node.next().value.data.toString().endsWith('> ')) break;
}

node.stdin.write("41 * Math.pow(2, 5)\n");
console.log((node.next().value.data.toString().split("\n")[0]));
node.stdin.write(".exit\n");
console.log(`Node exited with exit code ${node.next().value.code}`);
