Meteor package.json for fun and profit

_README.md

Why use pacakge.json with Meteor ?

• Keep the preferred port with the project
• Each project need not run on port 3000 (Keep your favicon.ico from getting confused!)
• Start up with settings.json in a conventional way
• Install utils with your project, like spacejam, ESLint, etc..
• Have a uniform interface between package projects and meteor apps

How to use it ?

Use aliases such as:

• ms "Meteor start" - runs npm start
• mtest "Meteor test" - runs npm run test
• mls "Meteor ls" - runs npm run, listing all avaliable commands in package.json

Etc. Get creative.

I agree with you.
I did some scripts in this repo : https://github.com/MeteorLyon/meteor-boilerplate
you can specify all meteor environment in packageJs and then run npm start/test !
But i missed deploy command

Interesting - yes its' nice what you did breaking out the individual fields.
