Simplify npm scripts with "if-env ... && npm run this || npm run that"
npm install if-env> Simplify npm scripts with if-env ... && npm run this || npm run that

I recommend switching to per-env, which is much simpler and much more powerful!

Suppose you want to simplify development and be able to run npm start
in all environments & run the correct scripts.
Your package.json might look like this:
``json`
"scripts": {
"start": "if [[ ${NODE_ENV} == \"production\" ]]; then npm run start:prod; else npm run start:dev; fi",
"start:dev": "webpack",
"start:prod": "start-cluster"
}
The problem is, this doesn't work in all environments.
Instead, you can write:
`json`
"scripts": {
"start": "if-env NODE_ENV=production && npm run start:prod || npm run start:dev",
"start:dev": "webpack",
"start:prod": "start-cluster"
}
`shell`
$ npm install if-env --save
`json``
"scripts": {
"start": "if-env SOME_ENV_VAR=some_val ANOTHER_ENV_VAR=another_val && npm run this || npm run that"
}
