I use npm scripts to build my project. I'd like to be able to run the scripts from a different directory. That is, instead of doing the following:
cd project; npm run build; cd .. ...I'd like to simply do something like:
npm run build -config project/package.json; or
npm run build -wd project; Is this possible?

Using --prefix worked for me:
npm --prefix /path/to/project run build
Where path/to/project is the directory where your package.json with build command defined.
to change the path of package.json that npm gets this didnt work for me
npm --prefix /path/to/project run build but this did
npm --prefix /path/to/project run but this does not permanently change it for example you can say
npm --prefix /path/to/project run test
