// Install: npm i icomoon-cli
 
// Usage
const pipeline = require('icomoon-cli');
pipeline({
  icons: ['test-assets/1.svg', 'test-assets/2.svg'],
  names: ['new1', 'new2'],
  selectionPath: 'test-assets/selection.json',
  outputDir: 'output',

You can hack the downloaded icomoon files in a callback property whenFinished, or just use Promise to control your code since pipeline will return a promise.
