NAME¶

npm-start

Synopsis¶

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Description¶

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

If the &quot;scripts&quot; object does not define a &quot;start&quot; 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 &quot;main&quot; 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)
