# watchify
|
||||
|
||||
watch mode for [browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) builds
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://travis-ci.org/substack/watchify)
|
||||
|
||||
Update any source file and your browserify bundle will be recompiled on the
|
||||
spot.
|
||||
|
||||
# example
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ watchify main.js -o static/bundle.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now as you update files, `static/bundle.js` will be automatically
|
||||
incrementally rebuilt on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
The `-o` option can be a file or a shell command (not available on Windows)
|
||||
that receives piped input:
|
||||
|
||||
``` sh
|
||||
watchify main.js -o 'exorcist static/bundle.js.map > static/bundle.js' -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``` sh
|
||||
watchify main.js -o 'uglifyjs -cm > static/bundle.min.js'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `-v` to get more verbose output to show when a file was written and how long the bundling took (in seconds):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ watchify browser.js -d -o static/bundle.js -v
|
||||
610598 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.23 seconds) at 8:31:25 PM
|
||||
610606 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.10 seconds) at 8:45:59 PM
|
||||
610597 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.14 seconds) at 8:46:02 PM
|
||||
610606 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.08 seconds) at 8:50:13 PM
|
||||
610597 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.08 seconds) at 8:58:16 PM
|
||||
610597 bytes written to static/bundle.js (0.19 seconds) at 9:10:45 PM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# usage
|
||||
|
||||
Use `watchify` with all the same options as `browserify` except that `-o` (or
|
||||
`--outfile`) is mandatory. Additionally, there are also:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Standard Options:
|
||||
|
||||
--outfile=FILE, -o FILE
|
||||
|
||||
This option is required. Write the browserify bundle to this file. If
|
||||
the file contains the operators `|` or `>`, it will be treated as a
|
||||
shell command, and the output will be piped to it.
|
||||
|
||||
--verbose, -v [default: false]
|
||||
|
||||
Show when a file was written and how long the bundling took (in
|
||||
seconds).
|
||||
|
||||
--version
|
||||
|
||||
Show the watchify and browserify versions with their module paths.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Advanced Options:
|
||||
|
||||
--delay [default: 100]
|
||||
|
||||
Amount of time in milliseconds to wait before emitting an "update"
|
||||
event after a change.
|
||||
|
||||
--ignore-watch=GLOB, --iw GLOB [default: false]
|
||||
|
||||
Ignore monitoring files for changes that match the pattern. Omitting
|
||||
the pattern will default to "**/node_modules/**".
|
||||
|
||||
--poll=INTERVAL [default: false]
|
||||
|
||||
Use polling to monitor for changes. Omitting the interval will default
|
||||
to 100ms. This option is useful if you're watching an NFS volume.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# methods
|
||||
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
var watchify = require('watchify');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## watchify(b, opts)
|
||||
|
||||
watchify is a browserify [plugin](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify#bpluginplugin-opts), so it can be applied like any other plugin.
|
||||
However, when creating the browserify instance `b`, **you MUST set the `cache`
|
||||
and `packageCache` properties**:
|
||||
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
var b = browserify({ cache: {}, packageCache: {} });
|
||||
b.plugin(watchify);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
var b = browserify({
|
||||
cache: {},
|
||||
packageCache: {},
|
||||
plugin: [watchify]
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**By default, watchify doesn't display any output, see [events](https://github.com/substack/watchify#events) for more info.**
|
||||
|
||||
`b` continues to behave like a browserify instance except that it caches file
|
||||
contents and emits an `'update'` event when a file changes. You should call
|
||||
`b.bundle()` after the `'update'` event fires to generate a new bundle.
|
||||
Calling `b.bundle()` extra times past the first time will be much faster due
|
||||
to caching.
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Watchify will not emit `'update'` events until you've called
|
||||
`b.bundle()` once and completely drained the stream it returns.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
var fs = require('fs');
|
||||
var browserify = require('browserify');
|
||||
var watchify = require('watchify');
|
||||
|
||||
var b = browserify({
|
||||
entries: ['path/to/entry.js'],
|
||||
cache: {},
|
||||
packageCache: {},
|
||||
plugin: [watchify]
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
b.on('update', bundle);
|
||||
bundle();
|
||||
|
||||
function bundle() {
|
||||
b.bundle()
|
||||
.on('error', console.error)
|
||||
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.js'))
|
||||
;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### options
|
||||
|
||||
You can to pass an additional options object as a second parameter of
|
||||
watchify. Its properties are:
|
||||
|
||||
`opts.delay` is the amount of time in milliseconds to wait before emitting
|
||||
an "update" event after a change. Defaults to `100`.
|
||||
|
||||
`opts.ignoreWatch` ignores monitoring files for changes. If set to `true`,
|
||||
then `**/node_modules/**` will be ignored. For other possible values see
|
||||
Chokidar's [documentation](https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar#path-filtering) on "ignored".
|
||||
|
||||
`opts.poll` enables polling to monitor for changes. If set to `true`, then
|
||||
a polling interval of 100ms is used. If set to a number, then that amount of
|
||||
milliseconds will be the polling interval. For more info see Chokidar's
|
||||
[documentation](https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar#performance) on
|
||||
"usePolling" and "interval".
|
||||
**This option is useful if you're watching an NFS volume.**
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
var b = browserify({ cache: {}, packageCache: {} });
|
||||
// watchify defaults:
|
||||
b.plugin(watchify, {
|
||||
delay: 100,
|
||||
ignoreWatch: ['**/node_modules/**'],
|
||||
poll: false
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## b.close()
|
||||
|
||||
Close all the open watch handles.
|
||||
|
||||
# events
|
||||
|
||||
## b.on('update', function (ids) {})
|
||||
|
||||
When the bundle changes, emit the array of bundle `ids` that changed.
|
||||
|
||||
## b.on('bytes', function (bytes) {})
|
||||
|
||||
When a bundle is generated, this event fires with the number of bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
## b.on('time', function (time) {})
|
||||
|
||||
When a bundle is generated, this event fires with the time it took to create the
|
||||
bundle in milliseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
## b.on('log', function (msg) {})
|
||||
|
||||
This event fires after a bundle was created with messages of the form:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
X bytes written (Y seconds)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
with the number of bytes in the bundle X and the time in seconds Y.
|
||||
|
||||
# working with browserify transforms
|
||||
|
||||
If your custom transform for browserify adds new files to the bundle in a non-standard way without requiring.
|
||||
You can inform Watchify about these files by emiting a 'file' event.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
module.exports = function(file) {
|
||||
return through(
|
||||
function(buf, enc, next) {
|
||||
/*
|
||||
manipulating file content
|
||||
*/
|
||||
|
||||
this.emit("file", absolutePathToFileThatHasToBeWatched);
|
||||
|
||||
next();
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# install
|
||||
|
||||
With [npm](https://npmjs.org) do:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ npm install -g watchify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to get the watchify command and:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ npm install watchify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to get just the library.
|
||||
|
||||
# troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
## rebuilds on OS X never trigger
|
||||
|
||||
It may be related to a bug in `fsevents` (see [#250](https://github.com/substack/watchify/issues/205#issuecomment-98672850)
|
||||
and [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26708205/webpack-watch-isnt-compiling-changed-files/28610124#28610124)).
|
||||
Try the `--poll` flag
|
||||
and/or renaming the project's directory - that might help.
|
||||
|
||||
## watchify swallows errors
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure errors are reported you have to add a event listener to your bundle stream. For more information see ([browserify/browserify#1487 (comment)](https://github.com/browserify/browserify/issues/1487#issuecomment-173357516) and [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/22389498/1423220))
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
var b = browserify();
|
||||
b.bundle()
|
||||
.on('error', console.error)
|
||||
...
|
||||
;
|
||||
```
