npm install parcel-plugin-watch-reload!Node.js CI
š¦ššš A Parcel plugin that watches files not included in your bundles (e.g. */.php) and reloads your browser if they change (great for CMS theme development like e.g. WordPress). Also, has emojis in readme š¾
``
$ npm install parcel-plugin-watch-reload -D
...or
`
$ yarn add parcel-plugin-watch-reload -D
Specify which file types should trigger a browser reload in your package.json:
`json`
{
"watchreload": {
"files": "*/.php"
}
}
Arrays of globs are also supported:
`json`
{
"watchreload": {
"files": ["/.php", "/.svg"]
}
}
Without the setting in your package.json, the plugin will do nothing.
- Set a reload delay:
`json`
{
"watchreload": {
"files": "*/.php",
"reloadDelay": 200
}
}
- Overwrite the plugin's settings for Chokidar. The defaults are:
`json`
{
"watchreload": {
"files": "*/.php",
"chokidarOptions": {
"ignored": ["node_modules", "bower_components", ".cache"],
"ignoreInitial": true
}
}
}
That's it! If you start parcel in watch mode with the hmr` option set to true (it's the default), each change to a file matching your rules will trigger a browser reload. āØ
