Use pattern to shorten command of Concurrently
Sometimes, we want to run some scripts in a parallel manner. Concurrently
package helps you just do that.
npm install concurrently
I want to add all scripts under names starting with start, so I don't have to type names in concurrently script.
I don't want to write
concurrently "command1 arg" "command2 arg"
I want to write
concurrently npm:start:*
Here to demonstrate, I am using Vite for frontend and json-server for storing the data.
Problem is, I want to run them together with one simple command.
npm start
is one of the command that doesn't require to writerun
likenpm run doSomething
.So I will use
npm start
to start multiple commands.Command for Vite is
npx vite
Command for json-server is
npx json-server -w db.json
In package.json, I will cobine them like this ( just an example ... )
"scripts": {
"start:frontend": "vite",
"start:backend": "json-server -w db.json",
"start": "concurrently npm:start:*"
},
"devDependencies": {
"vite": "^4.1.0",
},
"dependencies": {
"concurrently": "^7.6.0",
"json-server": "^0.17.2"
}
