打开bash并在npm start上运行命令

Question

When I start my app, I do it by running npm start . Right now, npm start only runs my server.js . Is it possible to have npm start open a new bash prompt and run eg grunt watch to start the task that watches my less/stylus etc?

It would be nice to not have to manually start the watch task each time.

Answer 1

Simply specify a custom start script:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node server.js & grunt watch"
}
