NAME

       npm-start

Synopsis

       <!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

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, 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)
