Let's assume the module I am requiring has no dependencies. For example, a json file, or a webpack compiled file.
Is there a built in method (or an npm package) that allows you to resolve live instances of files in node?
For example:
foo.js
module.exports = function() {
return 'test!';
}
implementation.js
var liveFoo = require("live-monitor")("foo");
console.log(liveFoo.instance()); // this will auto update when saving foo.js.
I'd imagine this hypothetical node module live-monitor would internally use fs.watch to update the instance export as the file foo.js is changed.
So, anything built in to node? Any package out there that does this already?
