How to run testcafe via node

Question

I have theses two commands I use when testing with testcafe

set SELENIUM_SERVER=http://xxx:4447/wd/hub
testcafe selenium:"internet explorer" Test.js

How can i rewrite this to run it via node and test runner? I.e. I would like to write something like this:

set SELENIUM_SERVER=http://xxx:4447/wd/hub
node tRunner.js selenium:"internet explorer"

Cannot figure out what the correct order is when using node.

You can create a TestCafe nodejs application and use TestCafe's API to execute your tests.

For instance, your application may look as follows:  

const createTestCafe = require('testcafe');
let testcafe         = null;

createTestCafe('localhost', 1337, 1338)
    .then(tc => {
        testcafe     = tc;
        const runner = testcafe.createRunner();

        return runner
            .src('Test.js')
            .browsers('selenium:"internet explorer"')
            .run();
    })
    .then(failedCount => {
        console.log('Tests failed: ' + failedCount);
        testcafe.close();
    });
