title: npm-set-script
section: 1
description: Set tasks in the scripts section of package.json
---
### Synopsis
An npm command that lets you create a task in the `scripts` section of the `package.json`.
```bash
npm set-script [<script>] [<command>]
```
**Example:**
* `npm set-script start "http-server ."`
```json
{
"name": "my-project",
"scripts": {
"start": "http-server .",
"test": "some existing value"
}
}
```
### Configuration
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START -->
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
#### `workspace`
* Default:
* Type: String (can be set multiple times)
Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
this configuration option.
Valid values for the `workspace` config are either:
* Workspace names
* Path to a workspace directory
* Path to a parent workspace directory (will result to selecting all of the
nested workspaces)
When set for the `npm init` command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
#### `workspaces`
* Default: false
* Type: Boolean
Enable running a command in the context of **all** the configured
workspaces.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
