Quickly run NPM script by prefix without typing the full name
Install as a global tool npm install -g npm-quick-run. This creates two aliases nrun and nr
$ nr t # runs script starting with "t"
$ nr m -w # runs a script starting with "m", probably "npm run mocha -- -w"
$ nr -i # runs npm-quick-run in interactive mode
Watch this screencast to see npm-quick-run in action. I am using nr alias
Take a look at the scripts inside your package.json. You probably have something like
this
"scripts": {
"test": "...",
"lint": "..."
}You can quickly run tests using nr t and run the linter using nr l, assuming there are
no other script names starting with t or l. If there are, just be more specific and provide
more unique prefix.
You can pass extra arguments right after the prefix string
nr t --watch
would be the same as
npm run test -- --watch
which can run Mocha unit tests in the watching mode for example.
If there are no scripts starting with the given prefix, an error message will be shown. If there are multiple scripts, they will be printed to the console and an error will be shown.
- as-a adds env variables before running a command
- json-package quickly shows value from
package.jsonby property name prefix - npm-run run locally-installed executables to avoid
using long string
node node_modules/.bin/some-alias ... - nrun is very similar to this project, but the script name completion is done via shell script, see the relevant issue
npm-quick-runis cross platform - the command completion is done in JS- Boilerplate NPM error output is filtered out automatically
- Most commands require typing only 3 characters - 2 for the tool itself "nr" and 1 character for the the script label
If something is not working as expected, you can see the verbose debug messages by running
DEBUG=quick nr ...
