require-invalidate

Invalidate a dependency and all the files that depend on it.

Usage

Useful for doing hot code reloading on the server in a much lighter-weight way than other solutions.

var invalidate = require('require-invalidate')

bundle
  .on('update', function (changed) {
    changed.forEach(function (dep) {
      requireInvalidate(dep)
    })

    app = require('./app')
  })

app.use(function *() {
  this.body = yield(app(this.req))
})

API

invalidate(moduleId, root)

• moduleId - The path to the module as you would write in in a require. E.g. invalidate('./app')
• root - Optional. If specified, the point at which to stop reloading. Defaults to '.' (the calling module).

Returns: void
