node-json-watch

auto reload a json file when it's changed without restart your project

installation

npm install json-watch

usage

var jsonWatcher = require('json-watch');
jsonWatcher.watch('/absolute/path/to/the/file.json');
// then you can use jsonWatcher.get() to access your data
console.log(jsonWatcher.get())
// if file.json is changed, the value of jsonWatcher.get() will auto reload, no need to restart your project
Important: use jsonWatcher.get(), not var json = jsonWatcher.get(); console.log(json);. otherwise the json will not change when the file changed
