How do i run a node project with my project name? (global module)

Is there any way to run my node project on CLI without node app.js?

Ex: if my project calls "weatherapp", can i use weatherapp on CLI to run it?

In your package.json file, you can add

"scripts": {
    "weatherapp": "node app.js"
 }

And then you can run node weatherapp
