If you use npm install <module> --save it writes this module into the package.json, which is very useful.
The package.json has an area for scripts. I want to add some scripts here automatically, so what would be useful would be a command to use add scripts here instead of opening the files yourself.
Something like npm add-script <name> <command>
Is there really nothing like this?
Older versions of NPM 7, 8 had a special command to add scripts to the package.json https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-set-script and the syntax would be
npm set-script <name> "<command>"
But the new version of NPM has changed and now everything regarding package.json file can be changed using pkg argument
npm pkg set scripts.<name>="<command>"
This way npm pkg set you can modify any part of your package.json file. Keep in mind that there are set, get and delete
More info here https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-pkg
Yo can use npm add script library.
Install the library in your project:
npm install -g npm-add-script
Use it, like this npmAddScript -k <name> -v <command>, for example:
npmAddScript -k test -v "node test.js"
More info in the official page of npm add script.
