一次运行 2 个 npm 命令

Question

I made a MERN project, and my structure is one backend folder and one frontend folder.

So, every time I work on it I have to cd to backend , run npm start , then in another tab, go to frontend and run npm start .

Is it possible to do a npm init in the root folder, and create a npm start that will run both commands at once ?

I'm new to terminal.

Thanks !

Answer 1

There are several ways you can do :

1- You can use concurrently(npm install -g concurrently)

---> concurrently "command1 arg" "command2 arg "

the most developer use these ways.And i know just these ways.

Answer 2

You can use this command in your terminal :

node frontend/index.js & node backend/index.js

or

npm start --prefix frontend/ & npm start --prefix backend/

You may have different paths to your files
