Add scripts to your package.json like so:

• it supports darwin, freebsd, linux, sunos or win32

{
    "scripts": {
        "foo": "cross-os bar",
        "bar": {
            "darwin": "echo 'i will only run on Mac'",
            "win32": "echo 'i will only run on Windows'",
            "linux": "echo 'i will only run on Linux'"
        }
    }
}

And call it like:

npm run foo

Alternatively you can also specify scripts on its own section in your package.json

{
    "scripts": {
        "foo": "cross-os bar"
    },
    "cross-os": {
        "bar": {
            "darwin": "echo 'i will only run on Mac'",
            "win32": "echo 'i will only run on Windows'",
            "linux": "echo 'i will only run on Linux'"
        }
    }
}

You also can pass args to the underlying script like this:

{
    "scripts": {
        "foo": "cross-os bar -- arg1 arg2"
    },
    "cross-os": {
        "bar": {
            "darwin": "echo received arg: ",
            "win32": "echo received arg: ",
            "linux": "echo received arg: "
        }
    }
}

or directly from the npm run script like this:

npm run foo -- arg1 arg2
