Tasco

A simple tool for running npm scripts, with monorepo support.

Features

• Faster than running npm run
• Supports monorepo: building dependent packages automatically
• Simplicity, no configuration

If you want more robust solutions, please check out Turbo or NX.

Installation

npm i tasco -g

Usage

tasco run [script_name]

# For complete usage:
tasco help run

Monorepo Support

Tasco by default runs the scripts in current directory, if you're working in a monorepo, you can pass --filter flag to select the packages you want to run. The filter flag supports glob patterns, and can be multiple. For example: tasco run --filter "**" build will run build script in all packages (excluding the root).

Let's say you have a pnpm/yarn/npm workspace:

- packages/foo
- packages/bar

Where bar depends on foo, if you run tasco run --filter bar build, it will build foo first for you.

Note that --filter and other Tasco flags should be passed before the npm script name, everything after the script name will be forwared to the npm script.

List Scripts

Run tasco run without a script name to list available scripts in current directory, you can also use --filter flag to list scripts in selected packages.

Roadmap

• Run npm scripts in parallel when possible.
• Maybe some sort of caching system, which should require no configurations.
