I'm looking for a way to use npm scripts to run tsc --watch && nodemon --watch
at the same time. I can run this commands independently, but when I want run both of them, only the first one is executed.
eg.
if I have this script:
"scripts": {
"runDeb": "set NODE_ENV=development&& tsc --watch && nodemon --watch"
}
tsc --watch
is executed but nodemon
is never called, and vice versa.
I think what you want is something like this (my current setup):
"scripts": {
"compile": "tsc && node app.js",
"dev": "./node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js -e ts --exec \"npm run compile\""
}
I created two scripts "compile" and "dev". To start developing you simply run npm run dev
which starts nodemon and makes it watch .ts files (using the -e
flag). Then, every time a .ts file changes nodemon will exec
the compile task which basically compiles and runs the node app.
While using concurrently is a good option, my setup guarantees that tsc
's work is done before attempting to execute the resulting .js files.
