In Yarn, running multiple scripts in parallel can be achieved through various methods, with common approaches including the use of concurrently, npm-run-all, or simple shell command combinations.
-
Using
concurrently:concurrentlyis an npm package designed to execute multiple commands simultaneously. First, install this package:bashnpm install concurrently --save-devThen, in the
package.jsonscriptssection, define the use ofconcurrentlyto run multiple scripts:json{ "scripts": { "start": "concurrently "npm run script1" "npm run script2"" } }Here,
script1andscript2represent the names of the scripts you wish to run in parallel. This command launches both scripts, executing them concurrently. -
Using
npm-run-all: Another tool isnpm-run-all, which supports running multiple npm scripts either in parallel or sequentially. First, install this utility:bashnpm install npm-run-all --save-devUse it in
package.jsonto run scripts in parallel:json{ "scripts": { "start": "npm-run-all --parallel script1 script2" } }Applying the
--parallelflag ensures thatscript1andscript2execute in parallel. -
Using Shell Commands: If you prefer not to introduce additional dependencies, shell commands can be used to run scripts in parallel:
json{ "scripts": { "start": "npm run script1 & npm run script2" } }The
&symbol enables commands to run concurrently on Unix-like systems. On Windows, thestartcommand achieves the same effect.
All these methods facilitate parallel script execution with Yarn, and the choice depends on project requirements and team preferences.
