I would like to know if we can write/pass the npm-start command as a JS script.

Requirement: Create a JS script that can execute the command npm-start.

OS: Microsoft Windows

My requirement is to convert it to a Windows service. However, for the below code under script I cannot directly pass npm-start.

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'npm-start',
  description: 'start npm',
  script: 'pass npm-start command as a script.js'
});

svc.on('install', function(){
  svc.start();
});

svc.install();

  • Please add your code that you have tried so that we can correct you, instead of giving you code. **This question may lead to opinions.** – Arnav Thorat Oct 12 '22 at 02:39

  • Okay, cool! I'm big on coding and the Windows operating system, but not sure how to solve your question. I'm still working it out though! – Arnav Thorat Oct 12 '22 at 03:51
