How can I write multiline scripts in npm scripts?

Question

My package.json looks like the following:

{
  \"name\": \"project\",
  \"version\": \"1.0.0\",
  \"description\": \"\",
  \"main\": \"server.js\",
  \"scripts\":

You can chain independent tasks.

Here is an example:

"scripts": {
    "lint-jshint": "jshint --verbose --show-non-errors ./src/main/js",
    "lint-eslint": "eslint ./src/main/js ./src/test/js",
    "lint-csslint": "csslint ./src/main/js",

    "lint": "npm run -s lint-jshint & npm run -s lint-eslint & npm run -s lint-csslint",

    "pretest": "rimraf ./build/reports/tests && mkdirp ./build/reports/tests && npm run -s lint",
    "test": "karma start ./src/test/resources/conf/karma.conf.js",
    ...

Here is a nice blog which I used at that time: https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/how-to-use-npm-as-a-build-tool/
