Node.js hot reload

Fast node.js hot-reload library. 🚀🚀

• library is little wrapper around parcel library for enabling hot-reload for nodejs projects.

Install

npm i nodejs-hot-reload or yarn add nodejs-hot-reload

Use

1. add this script to package.json

• for .js

  "scripts": {
    "watch":"npx nodejs-hot-reload entry=./src/app.js outDir=./build"
    },

• or for .ts

  "scripts": {
    "watch":"npx nodejs-hot-reload entry=./src/app.ts outDir=./build"
    },

2. run script npm run watch or yarn watch

3. That's it. 🤗

• You can use it as global module as well. But I recommend to use it locally. npm i -g nodejs-hot-reload.
