Sometimes we need to run a fake API with JSON-Server and SPA at same time.
We need to run each command one for our spa vue serve or ng serve and other for json-server json-server /db.json
One solution is with concatenating each command using && but if tomorrow we need to start another program the line will be look like:
npm run lint && npm run build && npm run api && npm run whereverthing :P
Then I found npm-run-all is a node package, it allows us to run all scripts defined in npm in sequential or parallel each one in parallel.
First install npm-run-all.
npm install -g npm-run-all
The define a new option into our script area, like all and call the npm-run-all with type of execution --parallel or secuential (by default) and scripts names.
"scripts": {
"serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
"build": "vue-cli-service build",
"lint": "vue-cli-service lint",
"api": "json-server src/db.json",
"all": "npm-run-all --parallel serve api"
},
Happy NPM!
