A rollup plugin to specify directories and files to watch

Actions License Donate

Usage

import watch from "rollup-plugin-watch";

export default {
    input: "index.js",
    output: { file: "dist/index.js", format: "esm" },
    plugins: [ watch({ dir: "public" }) ]
};

This will watch all files and directories inside the public folder for changes. Optionally you can filter what gets watched using the include and exclude options.

Options

include

Type: array or string Default: []

A single file, or array of files to include when watching.

exclude

Type: array or string Default: []

A single file, or array of files to exclude when watching.

dir

Type: string Default: null

A directory to watch.

Why

When you have a folder of static assets that are not directly imported in your code, rollup does not know when those files change. This plugin notifies rollup of changes to these files by telling rollup to watch them. By using this plugin you dont need to break your development flow to restart the dev server..
