npm-scripts

I need a module in my project to download a private npm package. To accomplish this, I am using a .npmrc file to supply a read-only token needed to download the package. To keep the token supplied by npm out of the file, I wish to add it as an environment variable and let it expand in the file. E.g: # .npmrc //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN} I can't figure out how to get that NPM_TOKEN added to the env before it is referenced for the install. I tried using an npm preinstall script: "preinstall": "NPM_READ_ONLY_TOKEN=my_token_goes_here_foo_bar" ** But I still get the same error:

For example: Let's say I want to write a

What I would like to be able to do is have a command that runs both of these in succession. Essentially, I would like to be able to run: npm run vumber dv and then npm run format but in one command, something like npm run my-build dv which would run both of the above commands, correctly accepting the command line argument 'dv' and passing it to the

How to set some environment variables from within package.json to be used with npm start like commands? Here's what I currently have in my package.json : { ... "scripts": { "help": "tagove help", "start": "tagove start" } ... } I want to set environment variables (like NODE_ENV ) in the start script while still being able to start the app with just one command, npm start . cesar Set the environment variable in the script command: ...
