Out-of-the-box support for running tasks in parallel

andywer commented 8 years ago

Might be tricky to visualize with listr.

How about bundling a parallel task runner like npm-run-all?

Hey @uetchy. Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, I think you could just use npm-run-all right now, but it wouldn't visualize properly which tasks are run.

The problems are right now:

How to make it work with underlying Listr package which only supports running things serially
What should the syntax look like for JSON task files. Two ways possible I can come up with:
- Special built-in command: run-p task1 task2
- Object with magic keys (kind-of ugly I think): { $parallel: ['task1', 'task2'] }

Feedback is always welcome :)

This seems like good news: SamVerschueren/listr#18!
