Watch Mode about barrelsby HOT 6 CLOSED

When documenting this feature it would be good to include an example of how to run Barrelsby and TypeScript in watch mode at the same time using concurrently.

What's the status on this? I would really like to have this feature. I could try implementing the feature using chokidar if you'd like??

Edit: Perhaps this is unnecessary, given how simple it is to use chokidar-cli:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build-barrels": "barrelsby ...",
    "watch-barrels": "chokidar \"src/**/*.ts\" -c \"npm run build-barrels\""
  }
}

Hi @tannerntannern thanks for contributing.

I don't know of anyone looking at this issue at the moment - if you want to make a PR you'd be more than welcome to 😄

Adding chokidar sounds good. Or if you are happy with your solution for now, it might be good for me to stick it in the docs either way 👍

The difficulty comes in preventing the barrel file writing triggering a watch event causing an endless loop.

I am writing my own using watchman at the moment.

Also, barrelsby has to run effectively run on every file change so it needs to be as efficient as possible in choosing which files to run on.

Using chokidar:

// ...
"scripts": {
    "generate-barrels": "barrelsby --delete -d ./src -l below -q --exclude spec.ts --exclude __mocks__",
    "generate-barrels:watch": "chokidar \"src/**/*.ts\" -i \"src/**/index.ts\" -c 'npm run generate-barrels'"
},
// ...
