Adding npm package.json scripts per console command

Question

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?

Also look at [npm-add-script](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-add-script). — TGrif, Oct 19 '17 at 08:18

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.

This is actually pretty helpful. Didn't expect it to be, but it is. – Doug Dec 16 '18 at 04:39
