How to run node js script from powershell script and use the output of node js script in powershell script?

Question

I have a node js script that can return a string value. I want to return that value and use it in PowerShell script.

I have done console.log(); to print the output. How to use it in PowerShell script?
The output looks like this:

D:\development\js-automation>node index.js MyNewProject
MyNewProject
https://github.com/avadhvashisth/MyNewProject.git

In your code, save the output as a variable and then call the function with the variable as an argument, then run your code in the terminal — paul-schultz

Powershell can capture all the standard output to a string. Make sure you specify the path to your node.exe and include the file extension or Powershell will consider it a command:

$MyOutput = .\node.exe index.js MyNewProject

$MyOutput should contain everything returned by node
