In the past I have written about how I use npm scripts for my build tooling. With this article I want to write about some problems I had and how I solved them. The problems I want to talk about further:

• Concurrency
• Extensive build configuration
• Build environments

npm is a Node.js’ dependency management system. It provides a script object in a project’s package.json configuration which can hold several CLI scripts. It is possible to run those via your command line. This way it is possible to replace your current build system. This article covers more about how you replace different tasks of a typical front-end build workflow.
