dev-runner

npm install -g @heyputer/dev-runner

This is a convenient utility to run multiple processes when something like supervisord is overkill, or you can think of it as a pre-shaven yak you just watched float by.

Simply write a configuration file in json5 format with all the commands you'd like to run:

{
    services: [
        {
            name: 'static-host',
            pwd: './dist',
            command: 'npx http-server -p 8080',
        },
        {
            name: 'rollup-watcher',
            pwd: '.',
            command: 'npx rollup -c rollup.config.js --watch',
        },
    ]
}

Then run dev-runner and specify your config file's name:

dev-runner run.json5

If a config filename is not specified, it will try run.json5 by default.

Features

Variables

A command specified in the run.json5 file can contain variables which are loaded from another json5 file specified as the second argument to dev-runner (local.json5 by default).

For example, this can be your run.json5:

{
    services: [
        {
            name: 'static-https',
            pwd: './dist',
            command: 'npx http-server =p 8443 -S -C "{cert} -L "{key}"'
        }
    ]
}

and this can be your local.json5:

{
    cert: '/var/my-certs/cert.pem',
    key: '/var/my-certs/key.pem',
}

Then you can run either dev-runner or dev-runner run.json5 local.json5
