Adds script to a package.json file from the terminal or in scripts.
I've often seen the need to programmatically be able to add a script or two to a package.json
, for example when writing instructions for a tutorial or lesson. With ScrAdd this is now just a npx
command away.
ScrAdd will not overwrite existing scripts, but rather inform you that one of those exists already.
npx scradd {path to package.json} {script name} {script content} -o'
-o
- overwrites an existing script. Default behavior is to not overwrite existing scripts
-
Add a simple script to a local
package.json
npx scradd . test "mocha ."
-
Add a simple script to a non-local
package.json
npx scradd ~/projects/myproj/package.json test "mocha ."
-
Adding a script with separators in the name requires quotes:
npx scradd . "test:watch:integration" "mocha ."
-
Adding script content just about always requires quotes, since it contains spaces:
npx scradd . "test:watch" "npm t -- -R min -w ./src/"
-
Overwrite an existing script using the
-o
flag, for example thetest
script that is created by default:npx scradd . "test" "mocha -R min" -o
This is a quick and dirty first version of the code. I wanted it to be workable but not perfect.
