Piping arbitrary Powershell variables into NodeJS

#powershell #shell #justfoundout

So yea I just learned how to pipe a powershell variable into a nodejs script.

(base) @Carl ➜ my-pwsh-deps git(main> $str = './README.md' (base) @Carl ➜ my-pwsh-deps git(main) node -p @" >> const path = require('path') >> let s = ``$str`` >> console.log(path.parse(path.resolve(s))) >> "@ { root: 'C:\\', dir: 'C:\\Users\\Carl\\gitstuff\\my-pwsh-deps', base: 'README.md', ext: '.md', name: 'README' }

It's kind of similar to when you see a slice of perl code inside a bash script. Pretty cool.
