cross-exec

Simple script to identify platform and execute further npm scripts, such as build scripts (for example), by platform.

Installation

npm i -D cross-exec

Syntax

cross-exec <platform-name-1>="command 1" <platform-name-2>="command 2"...

• platform-name argument must include platform name in it (i.e win32 for example), but it can also have additional characters. Example: --win32=\"npm run build:win32\". Two dashes will be ignored in that case.

Usage

Let say you have build npm scripts for 3 platforms and you want to create 4th script to auto build, but depends on what platform you are currently running it:

package.json scripts:

"build": "cross-exec win32=\"npm run build:win32\" linux=\"npm run build:linux\" darwin=\"npm run build:darwin\"",
"build:win32": "echo \"Win32 build process\"",
"build:linux": "echo \"Linux build process\"",
"build:darwin": "echo \"Mac OS build process\""

Script finds by proccess.platform which is the current platform. Then executes command value passed by argument with the same platform name. This gives you ability to auto build based on what platform you are working right now.
