I use nodemon to watch file changes in a TypeScript Node.JS codebase. When a change is detected, esbuild and esbuild-register are used to transpile the code to CommonJS files and the application restarts.
The application is part of a monorepo with yarn workspaces. I use some code from a shared package in my application.
How can i get nodemon to automatically watch dependencies from the same workspace for changes and trigger a restart?
My workaround is adding the relative path to all used linked dependencies in watch in nodemon.json, but that requires me to manually edit the configuration when I add a local linked dependency.
nodemon.json
{
"exec": "node -r esbuild-register",
"ext": "ts,json",
"watch": [
"src",
"../../packages/logger/src",
"../../packages/helpers/src"
],
"ignore": [
"node_modules"
]
}
package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"@app/logger": "*",
"@app/helpers": "*"
}
}
