# edit-script
Edit npm scripts from the command line without worrying about json escaping.
[](https://asciinema.org/a/97693)
## Installation
```bash
npm install edit-script
```
## Usage
```
$ edit-script --help
Edit npm scripts from the command line without worrying about json escaping.
edit-script
edit-script
```
Running `edit-script` will give you an interactive interface that allows you to choose a script or create a new one.
`edit-script <script>` allows you to select the script you want to edit on the command line. If `<script>` does not exist, it will allow you to create a new script with that name.
To delete a script, simply empty the script in the editor. `edit-script` will delete the key in the `package.json` for you.
## Editor Selection
`edit-script` uses the value of the `$VISUAL` or `$EDITOR` environment variables to determine the editor to use for script editing. If neither of these variables are defined, it defaults to `notepad` (on Windows) or `vim` (on Linux or Mac).
On some Linux distributions, you may get an error like this:
```
events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn vim ENOENT
at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:359:16)
at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)
```
This probably means that you do not have `$EDITOR` set, and the default of `vim` is not installed or available in your `$PATH`.
To fix this error, either install `vim`, or set `$EDITOR` in your `.bashrc`:
```bash
export EDITOR=nano
```
