npm-run-all

A CLI tool to run multiple npm-scripts in parallel or sequential.

⤴️ Motivation

• Simplify. The official npm run-script command cannot run multiple scripts, so if we want to run multiple scripts, it’s redundant a bit. Let’s shorten it by glob-like patterns.
  Before: npm run clean && npm run build:css && npm run build:js && npm run build:html
  After: npm-run-all clean build:*
• Cross platform. We sometimes use & to run multiple command in parallel, but cmd.exe (npm run-script uses it by default) does not support the &. Half of Node.js users are using it on Windows, so the use of & might block contributions. npm-run-all --parallel works well on Windows as well.

💿 Installation

$ npm install npm-run-all --save-dev
# or
$ yarn add npm-run-all --dev

• It requires Node@>=4.

📖 Usage

CLI Commands

This npm-run-all package provides 3 CLI commands.

• npm-run-all
• run-s
• run-p

The main command is npm-run-all. We can make complex plans with npm-run-all command.

Both run-s and run-p are shorthand commands. run-s is for sequential, run-p is for parallel. We can make simple plans with those commands.

Yarn Compatibility

If a script is invoked with Yarn, npm-run-all will correctly use Yarn to execute the plan’s child scripts.

There are some npm-scripts to help developments.

• npm test - Run tests and collect coverage.

• npm run lint - Run ESLint.
• npm run watch - Run tests (not collect coverage) on every file change.
