Usage

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Overview

This runs a predefined command specified in the &quot;start&quot; property of
a package's &quot;scripts&quot; object.

If the &quot;scripts&quot; object does not define a &quot;start&quot; 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 &quot;main&quot; attribute when evoking with
node .

As of [email protected], you can
use custom arguments when executing scripts. Refer to npm run-script for more details.

Examples

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node foo.js"
  }
}
npm start
> [email protected] start
> node foo.js
(foo.js output would be here)
