npm-exec

Warning this is just getting started, but is already somewhat usable.

Usage

``
cd mymodule
npm-exec 'echo $npm_package_name'


mymodule

cd node_modules/mydependency
npm-exec 'echo $npm_package_name'

mydependency

`

What it does

Loads the same environment variables that would be present for npm run-script
, but executes arbitrary bash command lines (even on windows! Thanks
to bashful).

What it might do

Allow saving of command lines into package.json automatically (like npm install
--save does now). E.g. you might run: npm-exec --save test "mocha tests/*"
and after that your npm test command would be all set up.

Watch out for your shell!

Your shell will expand environment variables first, so if you want to reference
npm package variables in your command line, they need to be wrapped in single
quotes.

Install

npm install -g npm-exec

It's really only useful if it's installed globally (boo! hiss!) maybe it will get
integrated into npm` one day. Follow [the issue][issue-3313] that prompted me
to write this module for more information.
