Windows 中的 Javascript 终端仿真

Question

I am attempting to use Javascript / NodeJS to build a new command line / terminal for personal use but I am running into some issues. I can't not seem to find a decent way of interacting with the windows command line from my own Javascript.

I understand that by default browsers do not allow javascript to interact with system based commands so I was considering using socketIO or something of the sort.

I was planning on using Electron (chromium).

I'm wondering what would be a good direction to pull the windows command line env into my window.

In all honesty, even just taking the existing output from the CMD would be a good enough start.

In a Windows console window you can execute a JavaScript script using the command "cscript". It has been a while since I have done that so I was reviewing my previous work.

I know nothing about NodeJS but as I was searching for help to refresh my memory, I found several articles and StackOverflow answers that seem relevant. I hope these help.
