What are some useful npm scripts plugins?

There are several great npm scripts plugins! Some popular ones include npm-run-all, which allows you to run multiple npm scripts in parallel or sequentially, and concurrently, which is similar but focuses on running scripts concurrently.

Can you give me an example of how to use npm-run-all?

Sure! You can install it using npm install npm-run-all --save-dev. Then, in your package.json, you can define scripts like this:

"scripts": { "build": "npm-run-all clean lint", "clean": "rimraf dist", "lint": "eslint ." }

This way, running npm run build will execute both the clean and lint scripts in sequence.

What about plugins for testing?

For testing, you might want to look into plugins like mocha, jest, or jasmine. They can be integrated into your npm scripts to run tests easily.

How can I automate my testing with npm scripts?

You can automate testing by adding a test script in your package.json. For example:

"scripts": { "test": "jest" }

Now, you can run npm test to execute your tests automatically.
