NPM-START(1)                General Commands Manual               NPM-START(1)

NAME
       npm-start

Synopsis
       <!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

Description
       This runs a predefined command specified in the &quot;start&quot; prop-
       erty of
       a package's &quot;scripts&quot; object.

       If the &quot;scripts&quot; object does not define a   &quot;start&quot;
       property, npm
       will run node server.js.

       Note that this is different from the default node behavior of running
       the file specified in a package's &quot;main&quot; attribute when evok-
       ing with
       node .

       As of npm@2.0.0, you can
       use custom arguments when executing scripts. Refer  to  npm  run-script
       for more details.

Example
         {
           "scripts": {
             "start": "node foo.js"
           }
         }
         npm start

         > npm@x.x.x start
         > node foo.js

         (foo.js output would be here)
