How to include cli module in node task?

Question

Node.js

In general, there is ionic, which is usually launched through the console (for example, ionic platform add android)
I want to do some assembly on top, I try to connect var ionic = require ('ionic') in the node, cannot find module is issued.
How can it be connected?

Answer 1

to connect the module via require, you need to install it in the project;
if you need to use ionic-cli, you can use child process to work with the terminal directly from the code. with this approach, you do not need to install the package in the project.
