psrn - Packagefile Script RuNner

Psrn (psrn) is a command line utility to help with running packagefile scripts after you (or someone else) created them. In my experience this is the workflow for scripts in a node package after a while:

1. Try to remember what the scripts were you created
2. Go read the package file (or run npm run-scripts if you remember)
3. Copy/paste the script name you want
4. Repeat

What if we could do it better?

psrn.

Setup

npm install -g psrn

That's it.

Running psrn

Visit your favorite local node package repository and...

> psrn

You'll get a helpful interface and all the scripts will be at your fingertips.

Additional arguments

• --arguments or -a : Have psrn prompt you for additional arguments to pass through
• --help or -h : Display help information
• --long or -l : By default psrn just shows the script names. This displays everything
• --set-runner : Set default script runner (npm or yarn)
• --version : Print current psrn version
• --yarn or -y : Use yarn as the script runner
• -- : Type -- followed by a space and then start typing arguments. They'll pass through directly
