Is it possible to invoke a yarn script in a dependency module?

I have a node application which has dependency. This dependency comes with a yarn script defined in the dependency's package.json.

So it's

app.js
package.json
node_modules
  my_dep_module
    package.json // contains this line { scripts: { runme: "node util.js" } }
    util.js

How can I invoke, if at all, the runme script of my_dep_module from the application (root) context?

Solution

  • It seems that if your dependency wanted to export one or more executable scripts for your use, they'd have added them to their package.json's bin field.
