|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
An npm command that lets you create a task in the `scripts` section of the `package.json`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm set-script [<script>] [<command>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
* `npm set-script start "http-server ."`
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "my-project",
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"start": "http-server .",
|
|
"test": "some existing value"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
|
|
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
#### `workspace`
|
|
|
|
* Default:
|
|
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
|
|
|
|
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
|
|
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
|
|
this configuration option.
|
|
|
|
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
|
|
|
|
* Workspace names
|
|
* Path to a workspace directory
|
|
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
|
|
workspaces within that folder)
|
|
|
|
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
|
|
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
|
|
brand new workspace within the project.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
|

|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `workspaces`
|
|
|
|
* Default: null
|
|
* Type: null or Boolean
|
|
|
|
Set to true to run the command in the context of **all** configured
|
|
workspaces.
|
|
|
|
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like `install` to
|
|
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
|
|
|
|
- Commands that operate on the `node_modules` tree (install, update, etc.)
|
|
will link workspaces into the `node_modules` folder. - Commands that do
|
|
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
|
|
_unless_ one or more workspaces are specified in the `workspace` config.
|
|
|
|
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

|
|
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
|
|
|
|
#### `include-workspace-root`
|
|
|
|
* Default: false
|
|
* Type: Boolean
|
|
|
|
Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.
|
|
|
|
When false, specifying individual workspaces via the `workspace` config, or
|
|
all workspaces via the `workspaces` flag, will cause npm to operate only on
|
|
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.
