Can I add a debug script to NPM?

Question

I have edited my package.json to customize the \"start\" script so it adds the --debug flag to node:

  \"scripts\": {
    \"start\": \"node --debug server.js         


        

Answer 1

In your package.json define the script

"scripts": {
  "debug": "node --inspect server.js"
}

And then you can use npm's run-script

npm run-script debug

or the shorter version

npm run debug
