package.json
compact (recommended) format:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "node test.js",
"lint": "standard",
"watch": "rerun-script"
},
"watches": {
"test": [ "*.js", "lib/**/*.js", "test/**/*.js" ],
"lint": [ "*.js", "lib/**/*.js", "test/**/*.js" ]
}
}
verbose format:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "node test.js",
"lint": "standard",
"watch": "rerun-script"
},
"watches": [
{
"script": "test",
"patterns": [ "*.js", "lib/**/*.js", "test/**/*.js" ]
},
{
"script": "lint",
"patterns": [ "*.js", "lib/**/*.js", "test/**/*.js" ]
}
]
}
If you only have one pattern to match for a script, you can pass in a string instead of an array:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "node test.js",
"lint": "standard",
"watch": "rerun-script"
},
"watches": {
"test": "test/**/*.js",
"lint": "*.js"
}
}
start the watcher
# directly
$ ./node_modules/.bin/rerun-script
# or via `npm run watch`
$ npm run watch
