Restart on file changes


The example at /docs/src/examples/watcher runs script.js with Deno using Pup. The process is restarted on any file change in the current directory (configuration watch: ["."]).

Files

  • pup.jsonc - Pup configuration, sets up script.js to run forever, and restart when a file in the current directory changes.
  • script.js - The actual script to run. Prints "Script running (for about an hour, if nothing else happens)..."

Running

cd to /docs/src/examples/watcher directory.

Start example by running pup run if pup is installed, pup will automatically pick up the configuration inpup.jsonc.

Run something like deno run -A ../../../pup.ts run if pup is not installed globally.

Success!
