This Bash script continuously runs an npm command using an infinite loop, executing the import script with the argument "create export cache". The loop structure follows a standard Bash while loop syntax, with do for the code block and done to mark the end of the loop.

Run example

npm run import -- "run the same command"

run the same command

while :
    do
        npm run import "create export cache"
done

#!/bin/bash
# Define the import command as a function for reuse and ease of modification
import_data() {
  # Use the npm run import command with the specified arguments
  npm run import "$@"
}

# Use a loop to continuously import data until the user decides to stop
while true
do
  # Ask the user to confirm before proceeding
  read -p "Import data? (y/n): "
  case "$REPLY" in
    y|Y) import_data "create export cache";;
    n|N) break;;
    *) read -p "Invalid input. Please enter y or n: "
  esac
done
