How exactly do you use NPM scripts and echo while executing a command?

Question

I cannot find any documentation on displaying messages in the terminal when executing NPM scripts.

For instance "bsync": "echo 'Starting BrowserSync' browser-sync start" does not work.

Answer 1

You can create bash script

Create any script you like (and even complex scripts)

Add the script to the your bin folder or to your /node_modules/.bin folder

And then add the following in your script section in package.json

 "scripts": {
    "bsync": "./bin/echo.sh"
  }

and create your echo.sh script:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Starting BrowserSync' browser-sync start

The other option is to direct echo

"scripts": {
    "bsync": "echo \"Starting BrowserSync\" && exit 1"
  }
