How npm start runs a server on port 8000

Question

I recently used a angular-seed folder from github for angular application development  In some previous angularjs tutorial there was a script folder and a server js file in the angular-seed folder which had all the configuration for running the node server  So how does npm now just start running a node server and where is all the configuration of that node server

If you will look at package json file   you will see something like this    start    http-server -a localhost -p 8000    This tells start a http-server at address of localhost on port 8000  http-server is a node-module   Update - Including comment by  Usman  ideally it should be present in your package json but if it s not present you can include it in scripts section

You can change the port in the console by running the following on Windows   SET PORT 8000   For Mac  Linux or Windows WSL use the following   export PORT 8000   The export sets the environment variable for the current shell and all child processes like npm that might use it   If you want the environment variable to be set just for the npm process  precede the command with the environment variable like this  on Mac and Linux and Windows WSL    PORT 8000 npm run start
