I am trying to specify 2 arguments with express JS start command, as specified below:
npm start -x 5 -y 43
But in doing so, I can't pick the arguments with '-' and they are somehow skipped in the following code.
process.argv.forEach(function (val, index, array) {
log.info(index + ': ' + val);
log.error("========="+array[index].toString());
});
Please help me to get the arguments with '-' as initials?
Note: I have tried using Yarks, but its not working as specified in the manual.
To pass arguments in npm script you must use double dash --:
npm start -- -x 5 -y 43
Check npm-run-script command documentation for more details.
start script looks?npm start not in node process, bun in nodemon process. This process runs node process and pass to it own arguments. To check that npm correctly pass arguments, use script which runs node process: "scripts": { "start": "node app.js }, for example.I was able to pass in arguments with simply
npm start myArg1 myArg2
Both bin/www and app.js could access them.
