hot-module-replacement
Hot module replacement for node.js
This module tries to mimic webpack HMR API
Installation
npm install --save-dev hot-module-replacement
Usage
Put this code somewhere in your code to initialise hot reload
// options are optional ignore: /node_modules/ // regexp to decide if module should be ignored; also can be a function accepting string and returning true/false
You need to explicitly mark any subtree as 'hot reloadable' by calling hot.accept()
let foo = ; if modulehot modulehotaccept'./util/foo' { // if foo.js or any files that foo.js depend on are modified this callback is invoked foo = ; // by this time module cache entry for 'foo' already cleaned and module reloaded, requiring again is the easiest way of geting reference to new module. We need to assign it to local foo variable to make our local code in this file aware of it. }
