npm pass command line argument to command

Question

I have in my npm package the following scripts property:

"scripts": {
    "test": "jasmine-node spec/",
    "install": "browserify api-client.js -o ../www/components/global/api-client.js"
  }

How can I do something like

npm run install --param differentOutput

so as not to hardcode the '../www/components/global/api-client.js' path

Answer 1

You can use option --:

npm run install -- --param differentOutput
