I have a NodeJS server that I run using npm startand an AngularJS client UI application that I also run using npm start, is there a way to create a desktop shortcut to run the command lines with just a click?
As mentioned in my comment, a batch script seems like the easiest way of doing this. If you're on Windows, this should do what you need:
start cmd /k "cd C:/yournodeproject && npm start"
start cmd /k "cd C:/yourangularproject && npm start"
start runs a command in a new window.cmd /k allows us to pass a string into the new command line.npm start.Unfortunately I don't know enough about Bash to offer a Linux equivalent, but hopefully this will get you started.
