Can I hide or silence “npm ERR!” output when using npm run script?

Question

I\'m using npm run script to do tasks such as \"build\" and \"test\".

For example, my package.json looks like the following:

{
  \"name\

There is an issue filed on npm: run-scripts are too noisy while used in development #8821 (also mentioned in a comment above)

In the discussion in that issue, a couple of people have mentioned creating an alias e.g. npr (utilizing the --silent option gcampbell describes in his/her answer). Although --silent can hide some npm type issues such as a malformed package.json, this seems like a reasonable solution for now.

alias npr='npm run --silent $*'

One other thing from that discussion which may be worth looking into, although it is yet another tool, is yarn which is described on a facebook blog post.
