NPM-TEST(3)

✨ NPM-TEST ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the npm-test page of the manual — that's manual section 3, the npm-test(3) one, and no I did not make that up, it's right there in the corner 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

npm-test — Test a package ✨ literally the whole point of this page, that's the vibe, we test a package, periodt 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

npm.commands.test(packages, callback)

like… that's the whole call. packages, then callback. that's her. that's the function 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? She runs a package's "test" script — with the quotes, yes, it's the actual "test" script field — if one was provided. no test script? nothing to run, it's giving "we move" 🙈

and listen, if you want tests to run as a condition of installation, you set the npat config to true. yes, npat. that's what the page says, I'm not touching it, I don't make the rules 🧚

here's the cute part though — npm can run tests on multiple packages at once. iconic. you literally just specify multiple packages in the packages parameter and she'll handle them all, main character energy 🎀👑

⭐ quick recap so nothing slips: "test" script runs only if one was provided, npat set to true makes tests run as a condition of installation, and packages can hold more than one package. that's it, that's the whole page. iykyk 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

nope, nothing here bestie — this page keeps it short and sweet, no references to chase down 🦋
