NAME

       npm-start - Start a package

   Synopsis
         npm start [-- <args>]

   Description
       This runs a predefined command specified in the "start" property of a package's "scripts" object.

       If the "scripts" object does not define a  "start" 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
       "main" attribute when evoking with node .

       As of npm@2.0.0 https://blog.npmjs.org/post/98131109725/npm-2-0-0, you  can  use  custom  arguments  when
       executing scripts. Refer to npm help 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)

   Configuration
       <!--  AUTOGENERATED  CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START --> <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
       <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

   ignore-scripts
       • Default: false

       • Type: Boolean

       If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

       Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such  as  npm  start,  npm  stop,  npm
       restart,  npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but
       they will not run any pre- or post-scripts.  <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->  <!--
       see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

   script-shell
       • Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows

       • Type: null or String

       The  shell  to  use  for  scripts  run  with  the  npm  exec,  npm run and npm init <pkg> commands.  <!--
       automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->

       <!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS END -->
