I want to make a script in package.json file where I can run a file which is not present in the same directory as the package.json file but it is present in parent folder of package.json file.

I want to do it like:

"scripts": {
    "server": "nodemon ../../ServerStarter.js",
}

I want to make a script in package.json file where I can run a file which is not present in the same directory as the package.json file but it is present in parent folder of package.json file.

I want to do it like:

"scripts": {
    "server": "nodemon ../../ServerStarter.js",
}

Here I want to run the ServerStarter.js file but I don't know how to put the file path in there. Please Help.

• javascript
• node.js
• npm
• package.json
• npm-scripts

• If it's in the parent folder, the path should be ../, not ../../. If you do ../../, it references the parent folder's parent folder. – cbr Commented Mar 20, 2021 at 14:05
• Yeah, sorry I had just put an extra pair of ../
