RFC: Add parallel execution of npm commands on generated projects

[bterone]

Issue

Currently a newly generated project for running linting and fixes all execute synchronously ⬇️

{
	...,
	"scripts": {
		...,
    	"codebase:lint": "npm run lint && npm run stylelint",
	    "codebase:fix": "npm run lint:fix && npm run stylelint:fix",
	}
}

However, there are libraries to run these commands in parallel and offer useful glob patterns like npm-run-all or concurrently 🤩

Solution

It's a good idea to integrate one of these libraries into our own template 🤗

Currently, on the project that we're working on, we use concurrently for linting, fixes, and tests

{
	"lint": "concurrently yarn:lint:scripts yarn:lint:styles",
	"fix": "concurrently yarn:lint:scripts:fix yarn:lint:styles:fix",
	"ci": "concurrently yarn:lint yarn:test:unit yarn:test:ui",
}

However, a newly generated Remix project will use npm-run-all and make use of different functionality like run-p for parallel running and run-s for sequential commands but that project hasn't seen any active development for 4 years now.

{
	"build": "run-s build:*",
	"dev": "run-p dev:*",
	"validate": "run-p \"test -- --run\" lint typecheck test:e2e:run"
}

It offers a much nicer developer experience to use either of these libraries and simplifies commands by a lot by cutting out the npm run x && npm run y chains that can appear when a project gets larger or has a lot of commands ✨

Who Benefits?

Developers ❤️ and future template users 😳

What's next?

• Gather feedback
• Integrate one of the concurrent libraries to the template
• Update commands in package.json to be simplified, E.g. concurrently npm:lint:* or run-p lint:*

As you pointed out, the main issue with npm-run-all seems to be that it is no longer actively maintained. Just added some screenshots for the others to have more insights:

Went with the concurrently package and merged in #149

I've checked the two checkboxes for you @bterone in the What's next section 😉 I guess you can also close this RFC as well 🙌🏽

Thanks, I will now close this RFC 🙌
