NRJS

introduction

a cli utility for npm script with support for multiline command,function, @build -> npm run build by patching the package.json file, no need to install as devDeps.

Usage

npm i -g nrjs

then add a nr.js on the same directory with package.json

module.exports = {
    compile: [
        `tsc -d --outDir lib`,
    ],
    build: [
        `@compile`,        
        async function () {
            console.log('done')
        }
    ]
};

1. notice you still have to use && each line to check the exit code 0.
2. The multiline command is automatically trim to single line by design, if you happen to need multiline bash script, write an object with key script
3. use ['@compile:css &','@compile:coffee &', 'wait', 'echo done!!'] for parallel tasks

$ nr # run the picker to choose tasks

? pick a script to run (Use arrow keys)   
❯ compile 
  build 


$ nr build # run the task


# and on wards later...
$ npm run build # this will work as intended, check your package.json
