Run arbitrary package scripts
npm run-script [command] [-- <args>]
npm run [command] [-- <args>]
This runs an arbitrary command from a package's "scripts" object. If no
"command" is provided, it will list the available scripts. run[-script] is
used by the test, start, restart, and stop commands, but can be called
directly, as well. When the scripts in the package are printed out, they're
separated into lifecycle (test, start, restart) and directly-run scripts.
As of npm@2.0.0, you can
use custom arguments when executing scripts. The special option -- is used by
getopt to delimit the end of the options. npm will pass
all the arguments after the -- directly to your script:
npm run test -- --grep="pattern"
The arguments will only be passed to the script specified after npm run
and not to any pre or post script.
The env script is a special built-in command that can be used to list
environment variables that will be available to the script at runtime. If an
"env" command is defined in your package it will take precedence over the
built-in.
