Nestjs/swagger open browser automatically like in REACT - browser

Question

I'd like my Nestjs/swagger application to start up as soon as bootstrap is finished
Initially I thought of using the callback of
async function bootstrap(): Promise<void> {
console.clear();
console.log("Starting and validating");
const app = await NestFactory.create<NestExpressApplication>(AppModule, {
cors: true,
});
await app.listen(PORT, () => someOpenBrowserFuncion("/docs")`));
}
bootstrap();
But I didn't find anything like that, so I thought
When we start a REACT app, as soon as it is compiled, it opens the default browser automatically.
and
This option can be disabled with the following command:
"scripts": {
"start": "env BROWSER=none react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
Is there a similar function in the Nestjs/swagger framework?
"scripts": {
"build": "nest build",
"dev": "nest start --watch",
"start": "env BROWSER=true nest start",
"production": "node dist/main",
},
Or some configuration to launch browser on certain endpoint?

You can install a npm package cross-env : npm install cross-env
And update this command in the package.json file under 'scripts';
"start": "cross-env BROWSER='chrome' nest start"
BROWSER is an environment variable, and you can use the cross-env package to properly handle it.
Linux:
BROWSER='google-chrome-stable'
Windows:
BROWSER='chrome'
OS X:
BROWSER='google chrome'
If these don't work, you can update the script:
Windows:
"start": "start http://localhost:3000 & nest start"
Mac:
"start": "open http://localhost:3000 && nest start"
Linux:
"start": "xdg-open http://localhost:3000 && nest start"
You can change your own port number.
