Adding samba user programically with node.js

Question

I've wrote function in node,js as follows:

const addUserToSamba = (userLogin, password) => {

         const echoPassword = spawnSync('echo', ['ne',`${password}\n${password}\n`]);

         const addUserCredentialsToSamba = spawnSync('smbpasswd', ['-a', '-s', userLogin], {
                 input: echoPassword.stdout,
         });

         console.log('Added user credentials to Samba configuration');
         console.log(addUserCredentialsToSamba.stderr.toString());
         console.log(addUserCredentialsToSamba.stdout.toString());
}

I want to achieve something like this in bash:

echo -ne "$PASS\n$PASS\n" | smbpasswd -a -s $LOGIN

When I'm running addUserToSamba(userLogin, password); function with given userlLogin and user password then I even get message Added user ${userLogin} as a stdout of the addUserCredentialsToSamba outcome.

But the credentials don't work.

Have I correctly rewritten this bash function to the node.js one? If no, how can I fix it?

You can simply skip the echo part and output the credentials directly to the smbpasswd process:

const addUserCredentialsToSamba = spawnSync('smbpasswd', ['-a', '-s', userLogin], {
    input: `${password}\n${password}\n`,
});
