Group by NPM Scripts

A VS Code extension that automatically discovers npm scripts from multiple package.json files in a monorepo and displays them in a tree view, grouped by colon-separated prefixes.

Features

• Monorepo-friendly — Discovers all package.json files in your workspace and displays scripts with their relative paths, so you never have to open each package.json to check available scripts
• Grouping — Hierarchically groups scripts by colon (:) delimiter (e.g. dev:frontend, dev:backend)
• One-click run — Run any script directly from the tree view in a terminal. Defined command is shown in tooltip.
• Auto-refresh — Watches for package.json changes and updates the tree automatically

Example

Given the following scripts:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev:frontend": "vite",
    "dev:backend": "node server.js",
    "dev:frontend:watch": "vite --watch",
    "build": "tsc",
    "test": "vitest"
  }
}

The tree view displays:

📦 package.json
  📁 dev
    📁 frontend
      ▶ watch
    ▶ backend
  ▶ build
  ▶ test

Requirements

• VS Code 1.97.0 or later

Usage

1. Install the extension
2. An "NPM Scripts" icon appears in the Activity Bar
3. Click it to see all scripts in your workspace as a tree
4. Click the ▶ button on a script to run it
