# Multilaunch

This is a utility for launching multiple processes and toggling between them to view their logs.

![Screencast](screencast.gif)

### Usage:

```

npx multilaunch config.json

```

Example config:

```json5

[

    {

        // name for the command in the sidebar

        "name": "Start Backend", 

        // the shell command to run

        "command": "rush start-backend", 

        // the cwd to run from

        "cwd": "./backend", 

         // if applicable, a string to look for to indicate the process has started up

        "startedWhen": "Server ready at",

        // a section for grouping commands under a section heading, commands still need to be consecutive

        // the section is rendered when it is different from the previous command's section

        "section": "Backend"

    },

    {

        "name": "Start Frontend",

        "command": "rush start-frontend",

        "cwd": "./frontend",

        "startedWhen": "Compiled successfully!",

        "section": "Frontend"

    }

]

```

When started, usage is fairly self-explanatory:

- Up/Down to navigate

- Enter to start/restart a process

- Ctrl+C to stop a process

- D to dump the current log to disk

- Esc to quit multilaunch (and stop underlying processes)

- `[`/`]` to scroll/up and down in the log (shift for faster scrolling)

- Space to go back to the bottom of the log

Mouse scroll moves the log up and down, but you mean need to tweak terminal settings for this.

Cmder - under Keys & Macro > Mouse > Send mouse events to console

iTerm2 - Profiles > Terminal > Uncheck 'Save lines to scrollback in alternate screen mode'
