Automating Node.js with NPM Scripts
Scripts are used to automate repetitive work and can improve developer productivity. When building Node.js applications, you can use npm to create scripts that you can use to automate tasks, such as transpiling with Babel, or starting the server in developer or production mode. In this code lab, you'll create scripts to automate your build and development tasks using npm scripts.
