Minimal Javascript Module to handle Tor network programatically in Node.js.

proxy.js

const { spawn, exec } = require('child_process');

let tor;
const proxy = kill =>
  new Promise(resolve => {
    if (kill && tor) {
      tor.stdin.pause();
      tor.kill();
      resolve('killed');
      return;
    }
    tor = spawn('tor');
    tor.stdout.on('data', function(msg) {
      if (msg.toString().includes('100%')) {
        exec(
          'curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:9050 checkip.amazonaws.com',
          (err, stdout, stderr) => {
            resolve(stdout);
          }
        );
      }
    });
  });

module.exports = proxy;
