What are some usage examples for npm-run-all?

Can you provide some usage examples for npm-run-all?

Sure! npm-run-all is a command-line tool that allows you to run multiple npm scripts in parallel or sequentially. Here are a few examples:

1. Run scripts in parallel: You can run multiple scripts at the same time using:

   npm-run-all script1 script2 script3
   

2. Run scripts sequentially: To run scripts one after the other, use the --sequential flag:

   npm-run-all --sequential script1 script2
   

3. Run scripts with a specific pattern: You can also run scripts that match a specific pattern:

   npm-run-all 'test:*'
   

Would you like more detailed examples or explanations?

Yes, can you explain how to use the --continue-on-error option?

Absolutely! The --continue-on-error option allows npm-run-all to continue executing other scripts even if one of them fails. Here's how you can use it:

npm-run-all --continue-on-error script1 script2 script3

In this case, if script1 fails, script2 and script3 will still run. This is useful for build processes where you want to gather all errors without stopping the entire process.

That sounds useful! Can I also limit the number of concurrent scripts?

Yes, you can limit the number of concurrent scripts using the --max-parallel option. For example, if you want to run a maximum of 2 scripts at a time, you can do:

npm-run-all --max-parallel 2 script1 script2 script3 script4

This way, only 2 scripts will run simultaneously, and the others will wait until one of them finishes.

Thanks for the information! What about using npm-run-all with other tools?

You're welcome! npm-run-all can be easily integrated with other tools like Gulp or Webpack. You can use it to run build tasks or watch processes alongside your npm scripts. Just include it in your scripts section in package.json, and you can orchestrate complex workflows efficiently!
