Synopsis

npm stop[--<args>]

Description

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

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

Example

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

npm stop
> npm@x.x.x 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 asnpm start,npm stop,npm restart,npm test, andnpm run-script will still run their intended script ifignore-scripts is set, but they willnot 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 thenpm exec,npm run andnpm init <pkg> commands.
