use shx for npm script

[gasolin]

I'm curious the possibility if shx could be a better alternative to run npm scripts in platform independent way

Hi @gasolin!

That's exactly why we invented shx, we wanted a way to use shelljs in npm scripts.

Once we release the first version of shx, you'll be able to do something like this:

{
  "scripts": {
    "do:something": "shx rm -rf build dist; shx echo Done"
  }
}

You've hit it on the head ;) Closing this for good house keeping, feel free to open if there are any further questions.

Looking forward it!

@gasolin shx is now available on npm:

npm i shx -D

[gasolin]

Thanks!

In the initial test, I found shx does not work in npm script (compare to rimraf and mkdirp) might be the path issue.

(installed via npm install --save-dev shx)
