Running npm command within Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there anyway of executing the npm command within Visual Studio Code (using f1 into >) on Windows(10) to install packages to my folder I'm working in?

I have npm installed and I keep having to install npm packages from cmd

Answer 1

Install

Use (two ways)

• Ctrl+R Shift+R
• Ctrl+P, write >npm, select run script, select the desired task

Update: Since version 1.3 Visual Studio Code has integrated terminal. To open it, use any of these methods:

• Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut.
• Use the View | Toggle Integrated Terminal menu command.
• From the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), use the View:Toggle Integrated Terminal command.
