Usage

Note: a Gogo shell must be running before invoking the connect method, otherwise a connection error will be thrown.

var GogoShell = require('gogo-shell');
 
var gogoShell = new GogoShell();
 
var config = {
    port: 11311
};
 
gogoShell.connect(config)
    .then(function() {
        return gogoShell.sendCommand('lb');
    })
    .then(function(data) {
        // Do something with response data
 
        gogoShell.end();
    });

gogoShell.connect(config)
    .then(function() {
        return gogoShell.sendCommand('lb');
    })
    .then(function(data) {
        // data = response from 'lb'
