How do I run a Node.js script from within another Node.js script

Question

I have a standalone Node script called compile.js. It is sitting inside the main folder of a small Express app.

Sometimes I will run the compile.j

Answer 1

Put this line in anywhere of the Node application.

require('child_process').fork('some_code.js'); //change the path depending on where the file is.

In some_code.js file

console.log('calling form parent process');
