flow-watch
A simple file watcher that clears the console and runs flow on each change. Currently tested on OS X -- I don't know
if it works on Linux or Windows. Works with flow on your path or flow-bin installed as a peer dependency.
Usage
npm install --save-dev flow-watch
Then run the flow-watch command.
flow-watch passes known nodemon options to nodemon, and all other options
to flow.
You may not need this?
nodemon has a documented way to clear the console on restart, so you may want to use nodemon/flow directly
in a package script instead of using flow-watch.
Configuration
flow-watch uses nodemon and accepts any command-line options that nodemon does.
If you provide no arguments, it uses the following defaults:
--ignore node_modules/ --watch *.js --watch *.jsx --watch *.js.flow --watch .flowconfig
By default, the watcher will clear the console between each change. If you wish to override this behavior, use the FLOW_WATCH_NO_CLEAR_CONSOLE env variable. If you choose that approach, you may also want to silent the [nodemon] messages in the console, which you can do with the --quiet flag (or -q). Putting it all together:
