pkgrun v0.0.1

pkgrun

Run multiple package.json scripts with one command. pkgrun allows you to select scripts to run in package.json with a glob pattern. Basically npm run with glob support!

Turn this:

npm run soup-clam && npm run soup-cream && npm run soup-mushroom

Into this:

pkgrun 'soup-*'

Normally you want to have each command in it's own line, tucked away with it's own property, and you want to use && to concat multiple operations together. This can get really messy really fast.

{
  "soup": "npm run soup-clam && soup-cream && soup-mushroom",
  "soup-clam": "echo 'clam soup'",
  "soup-cream": "echo 'cream soup'",
  "soup-mushroom": "echo 'cream mushroom'"
}

Now you can just write:

{
  "soup": "pkgrun 'soup*'",
  "soup-clam": "echo 'clam soup'",
  "soup-cream": "echo 'cream soup'",
  "soup-mushroom": "echo 'cream mushroom'"
}

The command pkgrun 'soup*' will go into your package.json file and pull all of the files starting with soup (in the order they are in) and execute them one by one.

Glob Reminder

Most shells use glob patterns to select files and send the matched files to a command. If you have a file soup-file.js in your working directory then pkgrun soup* (note that the argument is not in quotes) will return No package script match found: soup-file.js. If theres a glob pattern in the argument should encapsulated in quotes.
