NAME¶

npm-start

Synopsis¶

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->.SH Description

This runs a predefined command specified in the "start" property of a package's "scripts" object.

If the "scripts" object does not define a "start" property, npm will run node server.js.

Note that this is different from the default node behavior of running the file specified in a package's "main" attribute when evoking with node .

As of npm@2.0.0, you can use custom arguments when executing scripts.
Refer to npm run for more details.

Example¶

{


  "scripts": {


    "start": "node foo.js"


  }
}

npm start
> npm@x.x.x start
> node foo.js
(foo.js output would be here)
