How can I run multiple npm scripts in parallel?

Question

In my package.json I have these two scripts:

  \"scripts\": {
    \"start-watch\": \"nodemon run-babel index.js\",
    \"wp-server\": \"webpack-         


        

Answer 1

... but that will wait for start-watch to finish before running wp-server.

For that to work, you will have to use start on your command. Others have already illustrated but this is how it will work, your code below:

"dev": "npm run start-watch && npm run wp-server"

Should be :

"dev": " start npm run start-watch && start npm run wp-server"

What this will do is, it will open a separate instance for each command and process them concurrently, which shouldn't be an issue as far as your initial issue is concerned. Why do I say so? It's because these instances both open automatically while you run only 1 statement, which is your initial goal.
