GitHub - coderaiser/redrun: ✨🐌 🐎✨ fastest npm scripts runner

CLI tool to run multiple npm-scripts fast. Supports madly comfortable 🏎 Madrun.

Install

Usage

Usage: redrun [...tasks] [options] [-- ...args]
Options:
  -p, --parallel          run scripts in parallel
  -s, --series            run scripts in series
  -q, --quiet             do not output result command before execution
  -c, --calm              return zero exit code when command completed with error
  -P, --parallel-calm     run scripts in parallel and return zero exit code
  -S, --series-calm       run scripts in series and return zero exit code
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
  -v, --version           output version information and exit

Completion

You can enable tab-completion of npm scripts similar to npm's completion using:

redrun-completion >> ~/.bashrc
redrun-completion >> ~/.zshrc

You may also pipe the output of redrun-completion to a file such as /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/redrun if you have a system that will read that file for you.

How it works

package.json:

{
    "scripts": {
        "one": "npm run two",
        "two": "npm run three",
        "three": "echo 'hello'"
    }
}

Usually these expressions would be executed one after another:

coderaiser@cloudcmd:~/redrun$ npm run one

> redrun@1.0.0 one /home/coderaiser/redrun
> npm run two


> redrun@1.0.0 two /home/coderaiser/redrun
> npm run three


> redrun@1.0.0 three /home/coderaiser/redrun
> echo 'hello'

hello

All these npm run commands that are created are slow, because each time it creates a new process.

redrun makes it faster:

coderaiser@cloudcmd:~/redrun$ redrun one
> echo 'hello'
hello

How to use?

Redrun could be used via the command line, the scripts section of package.json or in a script:

import redrun from 'redrun';

await redrun('one', {
    one: 'npm run two',
    two: 'npm run three',
    three: `echo 'hello'`,
});

// returns
`echo 'hello'`;

await redrun('one', {
    one: 'redrun -p two three',
    two: 'redrun four five',
    three: `echo 'hello'`,
    four: 'jshint lib',
    five: 'jscs test',
});

// returns
`jshint lib && jscs test & echo 'hello'`;

Speed comparison

The less spend time is better:

npm-run-all: 1m12.570s
npm run && npm run: 1m10.727s
redrun: 0m38.312s

Here are logs:

npm-run-all:

coderaiser@cloudcmd:~/redrun$ time npm run speed:npm-run-all

npm run && npm run

coderaiserser@cloudcmd:~/redrun$ time npm run speed:npm-run

redrun@5.3.0 speed:npm-run /home/coderaiser/redrun

redrun

coderaiser@cloudcmd:~/redrun$ redrun lint:*
> jshint bin lib test && eslint --rule 'no-console:0' bin && eslint lib test && jscs --esnext bin lib test

real    0m38.312s
user    0m8.198s
sys     0m9.113s

As you can see redrun is much faster and more DRY way of using npm scripts than regular solutions.
