I have created a custom NPM package which (at the moment) does contain a script which I want to execute from within another project.
This is how my package looks like:
myScript.js
console.log("The script has been executed!");
package.json
{
"name": "@myscope/my-script",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "Lorem ipsum",
"main": "./src/myScript.js",
"files": ["src/*"],
"author": "Me",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"test": "node src/myScriptjs"
}
The folder structure looks like this:
src/
- myScript.js
.gitignore
package.json
I have successfully added the package to my other project as a dev-dependency and now I would like to do something like:
yarn myscript
where the corresponding script in the project's package.json would be something like:
"scripts": {
"myscript": "node point/to/myscript.js"
}
Just to clarify: I would like to avoid to write:
"myscript": "node node_modules/@myscope/my-script/src/myscript.js"
Instead I would like to have something like:
"myscript": "node @myscope/my-script myscript.js"
I believe that something like the above is possible if the script is added to the node_modules/.bin folder. How would I get my script into there? Or is there any other way to make my script executable other than referring to the path in node_modules?
Thanks for your help!
