dev:start not working with npm #182

Closed oolong32 closed 7 years ago

oolong32 commented 7 years ago

Refers to chapter ‘Nodemon’

Abstracting the start script (from start to dev:start) seems not to work when using npm instead of yarn. I only got the start script to work when I removed the save-dev line and put everything back into ‘start’:

"start": "nodemon --ignore lib --exec babel-node src/server",

It's because NPM needs npm run blabla where Yarn only needs yarn blabla. If you want to use NPM, add run everywhere.

Thanks.

"start": "npm run start:dev",
"start:dev": "nodemon --ignore lib --exec babel-node src/server",

This works indeed.

And by the way, this tutorial is exceptionally well done. Thank you again.
