Readme
node-hot is a Node.js package that will automatically monitor and hot reload
modules (stuff that you require
).
Based on this article by Kenneth Chung.
npm install --save-dev node-hot
// --- main.js ---
// Will only hot reload after this
require('node-hot')
// Globally configure node-hot (optional)
.configure({
// Disable logging (default: false)
silent: true,
// Automatically patch all exported classes (default: false)
patchExports: true,
// Exclude patterns (default: node_modules)
exclude: [
/[\/\\]node_modules[\/\\]/,
/[\/\\]bower_components[\/\\]/,
/[\/\\]jspm_packages[\/\\]/
]
});
// Main/entry module can't be reloaded, hence the extra file
require('./app');
// --- app.js ---
class Foo {}
let foo;
if (module.hot) {
// Reload this module and its dependencies, when they change (optional)
module.hot.accept();
// Gets called before reload (optional)
module.hot.store(stash => {
stash.foo = foo;
});
// Gets called after reload, if there was a store (optional)
module.hot.restore(stash => {
foo = stash.foo;
});
// Replaces class methods and accessors (optional)
module.hot.patch(Foo);
}
if (!foo) {
foo = new Foo();
}
Once you modify a module on disk, node-hot recursively traverses the dependants of that module, looking for an accepting module. Once it finds that it will re-require
that module.
You usually only need accept
in one of your first modules to run. However, due to the main/entry module being treated differently from the rest by Node.js, you will not be able to accept
from the main/entry module, meaning it can't be reloaded.
You can choose to omit accept
entirely, in which case node-hot will automatically accept
when it reaches a module with no dependants, which will most likely be the modules require
'd by your main module.
