yall-scripts


Run several npm scripts in parallel or in sequence forwarding the options in a yarn-friendly manner, using the yall CLI tool.

Installation

``
$ yarn add yall-scripts --dev
`

Usage

`js
$ yall [options] [tasks] [forward-options]

[tasks] - npm script names and matching patterns

Options:
-s, --serial, --sequential, --sequence // run tasks in sequence
-p, --parallel // run tasks in parallel
-v, --version // print version
-h, --help // print help
`

Run tasks in sequence (default):
`js
$ yall clean lint test build
$ yall -s clean lint test build
$ yall --serial clean lint test build
$ yall --sequential clean lint test build
`

Run tasks in parallel:
`js
$ yall -p clean lint test build
$ yall --parallel clean lint test build
`

Run tasks using matching patterns:
`js
$ yall lint:* // run lint:js, lint:css, lint:js:bin, lint:js:lib
$ yall lint:: // run lint:js:bin, lin:js:lib
`

Forward options to each task:
`js
$ yall -p start:mockBackend start:devServer --watch
$ yall -p start:* --watch
$ yall --parallel lint:* --fix
`

Run the yall-based npm script forwarding the option in a yarn-friendly manner:
`js
// package.json
"scripts": {
"lint:js": "eslint ./src",
"lint:css": "stylelint ./src",
"lint": "yall --parallel lint:*"
}

// console
$ yarn lint --fix
`

Note that we are using no extra -- sequence here to forward the --fix option to each of the matching scripts. As a result we will see no annoying yarn warning you could get used to when using other tools:
`
warning From Yarn 1.0 onwards, scripts don't require "--" for options to be forwarded. In a future version, any explicit "--" will be forwarded as-is to the scripts.
`

You're also safe to use script names that collide with yarn CLI commands:
`js
// package.json
"scripts": {
"audit": "yarn-audit-ci",
"check": "eslint ./src",
"test": "jest ./src",
"all": "yall audit check test"
}

// console
$ yarn all
