Example Usage in package.json

In your package.json file, you can configure your scripts and define script sets to run in different configurations. Here's an example:

"scripts": {
    "watch": "multiple-scripts-tmux -p watch", 
    "watch:back": "echo 'Watching back-end'",
    "watch:front": "echo 'Watching front-end'",

},
"tmux-scripts": {
    "watch": [
        "npm run watch:back",
        "npm run watch:front"
    ],
},

To execute the scripts defined in the package.json file, enter the appropriate commands in the terminal. For example:

npm run watch

Running this command launches the correspondingdhc tmux-scripts

Testing

To run tests in the project, follow these steps:

1. Run the watch script:

npm run watch

This script monitors changes in the project's source code and automatically runs tests upon detecting changes. It's a useful tool for continuous testing and ensuring that your code is always checked for potential issues.

2. Navigate to the testing directory:

cd testing/

Navigate to the "testing/" directory, which likely contains testing package.json.

3. Execute the tests:

node ../lib/index.js -p start

This command runs tests using the index.js file located in the "lib" directory.
