A package manager for node

<h1><a href="../cli/npm-run-script.html">npm-run-script</a></h1> <p>Run arbitrary package scripts</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm run-script [command] [-- &lt;args&gt;]
npm run [command] [-- &lt;args&gt;]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This runs an arbitrary command from a package&#39;s <code>&quot;scripts&quot;</code> object.
If no package name is provided, it will search for a <code>package.json</code>
in the current folder and use its <code>&quot;scripts&quot;</code> object. If no <code>&quot;command&quot;</code>
is provided, it will list the available top level scripts.</p>
<p>It is used by the test, start, restart, and stop commands, but can be
called directly, as well.</p>
<p>As of <a href="http://blog.npmjs.org/post/98131109725/npm-2-0-0"><code>npm@2.0.0</code></a>, you can
use custom arguments when executing scripts. The special option <code>--</code> is used by
<a href="http://goo.gl/KxMmtG">getopt</a> to delimit the end of the options. npm will pass
all the arguments after the <code>--</code> directly to your script:</p>
<pre><code>npm run test -- --grep=&quot;pattern&quot;
</code></pre><p>The arguments will only be passed to the script specified after <code>npm run</code>
and not to any pre or post script.</p>
