GitHub - egoist/dum: An npm scripts runner written in Rust.

dum replaces npm run and npx.
Instead of waiting 200ms for your npm client to start, it will start immediately.
You can help the author become a full-time open-source maintainer by sponsoring him on GitHub.

This is written in Rust! (Or any compile-to-native language).

Benchmark (hyperfine "dum foo" "npm run foo" --warmup 10):

Command Mean [ms] Min [ms] Max [ms] Relative

dum foo 41.7 ± 1.2 39.8 44.6 1.00

npm run foo 333.7 ± 2.0 330.0 336.0 8.01 ± 0.23

Install

Homebrew

brew install egoist/tap/dum

Shell

curl -sSL https://bina.egoist.sh/egoist/dum | sh

Cargo

cargo install dum

GitHub Releases

Download a release manually and move it to /usr/local/bin manually.

Usage

dum <npm_script|bin_script> [...args_to_forward]: Run npm scripts or scripts in node_modules/.bin, like yarn run, npm run, npx.

If you want to pass flags to dum itself, like the -c flag to change directory, you should put it before the script name, like dum -c another/directory script_name --forward some_flag.

Examples:

dum some-npm-script

dum some-npm-script --flags will --be forwarded
# Like npx, but mush faster
dum some-npm-package-cli-name --flags will --be forwarded

# Change working directory
dum -c packages/sub-package build

# More
dum --help

Install Packages

Dum is not a package manager yet, but we forward install, add, remove commands to npm, pnpm and yarn automatically:

# Run `npm i` or `yarn` or `pnpm i` depending on the project
dum install # or `dum i`
# Like above but add packages
dum add react vue -D

dum remove react vue

Limitations

• package.json vars are not supported, I personally never used it, if you believe it's necessary, please leave a comment here.

Inspiration

I want to try and learn Rust so I made this. Inspired by bun.
