New job npm_scripts

## Objective

This job will permits users to run several scripts from their `package.json` file using `npm`. Scripts can be used with args.

## How to use it

1. Make sure that your project has 

   [`package.json`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/configuring-npm/package-json){:target="_blank"}

   file which contains predefined command in the `scripts` object

2. If you want the job to run scripts make sure to add them inside the `variable` `NPM_SCRIPTS` and separate every command with `;`

3. Add this job URL inside the `include` list of your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file (see the [quick setup](/use-the-hub/#quick-setup)). You can specify [a fixed version](#changelog) instead of `latest`.

    ```yaml

      - remote: 'https://jobs.r2devops.io/latest/npm_scripts.yml'

    ```

4. If you need to customize the job (stage, variables, ...) 👉 check the [jobs

   customization](/use-the-hub/#jobs-customization)

5. You are done, the job is ready to use ! 😉
