How to execute commands in variables when zx？

[Song-aff]

// /bin/bash: ls -a: command not found
const command = ls -a;
const res = await $${command};
// ok
const res = await $ls -a;

Hey @Song-aff,

This is an effect of $.quote. By default, zx brings some protection to avoid cmd mixing as params.
But you're able to override this behaviour and accept the risks:

• Set a custom quote

await $({quote: v => v})`${command}`

• Apply bash eval

import {$} from 'zx'

const cmd = 'ls -a'
const p = $`echo hello && eval ${cmd}`
