# fgbg

![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/fgbg)

**`fgbg` is a lightweight tool that can run multiple commands concurrently**,

keeping one of them in the foreground and the rest silenced in the background.

It was built to solve the problem of running tests in watch mode for a

TypeScript project. With `fgbg` you can have the test runner watch for changes

in `*.js` files while you compile your `*.ts` sources into JavaScript in the

background.

## Installation

```

npm install --save-dev fgbg

```

## Example Usage

From the command line:

```

npx fgbg 'ava --watch' 'tsc --watch'

```

Or as a script in your `package.json`:

```diff

   "scripts": {

     "test": "ava",

+    "test:watch": "fgbg 'ava --watch' 'tsc --watch'

   },

```

```

npm run test:watch

```

## Additional arguments

Forward additional arguments to the foreground command using `--` as a separator.

```

npx fgbg 'ava --watch' 'tsc --watch' -- src/foo.test.ts

```
