Using npm scripts

npm scripts are commands that we can define in the package.json file. These commands can be executed using the run command:

# npm run <script-name>
npm run lint

This is great because we can define our own commands and we can use them to automate tasks. For example, we can define a command to run the linter in our project:

{
    "scripts": {
        "lint": "standard",
        "lint:fix": "standard --fix"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "standard": "^12.0.1"
    }
}

Then we can run the following command:

npm run lint
npm run lint:fix

npm scripts are basically shortcuts to run commands that we can run manually in the terminal. So, you can build quite complex things...
