NPM-RESTART(1)

NAME
npm-restart - Restart a package

  Synopsis

    npm restart [-- <args>]

  Description

This restarts a project. It is equivalent to running npm run restart.

If the current project has a "restart" script specified in package.json, then the following scripts will be run:

    1.  prerestart

    2.  restart

    3.  postrestart

If it does not have a "restart" script specified, but it does have stop and/or start scripts, then the following scripts will be run:

    1.  prerestart

    2.  prestop

    3.  stop

    4.  poststop

    5.  prestart

    6.  start

    7.  poststart

    8.  postrestart

  Configuration

  ignore-scripts

    •   Default: false

    •   Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts.

Setting ignore-scripts also disables .npm-extension execution, as if ignore-extension were set.

  script-shell

    •   Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows

    •   Type: null or String

The shell to use for scripts run with the npm exec, npm run and npm init <package-spec> commands.
