sublime-npm-project

A utility for running programs (i.e. starting a Node server) when switching Sublime Text projects.

Prerequisites

Follow the instructions to install Sublime Text's Package Control

Installation

1. Open the Command Palette (default key-combo is Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Select "Package Control: Install Package"
3. Search for sublime-npm-project and hit enter

Configuration

By default, this package won't do anything. Go to Project > Edit Project and add a section called "projectrunner" like below:

{
    "projectrunner":
    {
        "path": ".",
        "start": true
    },
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": "."
        }
    ]
}

This will ask you when you open a new project whether you want to perform the startup action, which unless explicitly specified is "npm start". Note that by default, this is run from your project path.

Change startup action

    "projectrunner":
    {
        "path": ".",
        "start": "node scripts/start.js"
    },

Change (relative) path

    "projectrunner":
    {
        "path": "react/",
        "start": true
    },

Disable startup action

    "projectrunner":
    {
        "path": ".",
        "start": false
    },
