npm-start - Start a package Synopsis npm start [-- <args>] 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 https://blog.npmjs.org/post/98131109725/npm-2-0-0, you can use custom arguments when executing scripts. Refer to npm help run-script 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) Configuration ignore-scripts o Default: false o Type: Boolean If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files. Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts. script-shell o Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows o Type: null or String The shell to use for scripts run with the npm exec, npm run and npm init <pkg> commands. See Also o npm help run-script o npm help scripts o npm help test o npm help restart o npm help stop
