It Opens Stuff

That is, in your desktop environment. This will make actual windows pop up, with stuff in them:

1npm install opener -g
2
3opener http://google.com
4opener ./my-file.txt
5opener firefox
6opener npm run lint

Also if you want to use it programmatically you can do that too:

1var opener = require("opener");
2
3opener("http://google.com");
4opener("./my-file.txt");
5opener("firefox");
6opener("npm run lint");

Plus, it returns the child process created, so you can do things like let your script exit while the window stays open:

1var editor = opener("documentation.odt");
2editor.unref();
3// These other unrefs may be necessary if your OS's opener process
4// exits before the process it started is complete.
5editor.stdin.unref();
6editor.stdout.unref();
7editor.stderr.unref();

Use It for Good

Like opening the user's browser with a test harness in your package's test script:

1{
2    "scripts": {
3        "test": "opener ./test/runner.html"
4    },
5    "devDependencies": {
6        "opener": "*"
7    }
8}

Why

Because Windows has start, Macs have open, and *nix has xdg-open. At least according to some person on StackOverflow. And I like things that work on all three. Like Node.js. And Opener.
