NAME

npm-stop - Stop a package

Synopsis

npm stop [-- <args>]

Description

This runs a predefined command specified in the "stop" property of a package’s "scripts" object.

Unlike with npm help start, there is no default script that will run if the "stop" property is not defined.

Example

{
"scripts": {
"stop": "node bar.js"
}
}

npm stop

> [email protected] stop
> node bar.js

(bar.js output would be here)

Configuration

ignore-scripts

	•		Default: false
	•		Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts.

script-shell

	•		Default: ’/bin/sh’ on POSIX systems, ’cmd.exe’ on Windows
	•		Type: null or String

The shell to use for scripts run with the npm exec, npm run and npm init <package-spec> commands.

	•		npm help run-script
	•		npm help scripts
	•		npm help test
	•		npm help start
	•		npm help restart
