npm-add-script

npm-add-script

programmatically add scripts entries to yr package.json file.

OK SO you can use --save or --save-dev to download modules and save them to yr package.json. But what if you are building a tool that generates stuff for projects and you need to be able to insert a brand new script into an existing thing? Or what if you want to just add a script entry at the command line because you've already been running and re-running the same convoluted test command for hours?!?!

NPM-ADD-SCRIPT IS HERE.

CLI

To use as a cli tool, just install it globally! This is most probably what you want if you just want command line manipulation of scripts entries.

npm install -g npm-add-script

           - add scripts to yr package.json's!

  -k, --key    the name of your script                                [required]
  -v, --value  your script                                            [required]
  -h, --help   Show help                                               [boolean]

  npmAddScript -k test -v "node test.js"
  npmAddScript -k test -v "node test2.js" -f

API

If you're making some sort of project scaffolding tool or test library or i don't know what you can also call this from node. For example, maybe your library requires a convoluted series of manuevers to work properly, you could automagically add those commands as a scripts entry!

  var npmAddScript = require('npm-add-script')
  // do some stuff related to yr special snowflake of a node module
  npmAddScript({key: "specialSnowFlake" , value: "node special_snowflake.js"})
  npmAddScript({key: "specialSnowFlake" , value: "node specialer_snowflake.js" , force: true})
