Question: How to pass additional arguments to npm task via Gradle command line?

[IvanPizhenko]

Assume in my package.json I have a task named "xxx". Using npm itself, I can run it as follows: npm run xxx. I also can run it with additional arguments in the following way: npm run xxx -- more arguments for xxx. When I run this task using node plugin for Gradle, I can run it using ./gradlew npm_run_xxx. But is there a way to pass those additional arguments to the npm task, like I've done above with npm right on the Gradle command line?

Do you need these to be generic or is there a different set of them? If you've got a set of them you can do something like the following for each:

tasks.register('myNpmTask', NpmTask) {
  args = ['run', 'task', 'args']
  inputs.dir('src') // Remember to declare inputs and outputs
  outputs.dir('dist')
}

Otherwise if you need it to be dynamic you can either subclass NpmTask and add a command-line argument or make use of project properties in the args

But this project supplying a generalized NpmRunTask might make sense here 🤔
