# express-router-reload

Easy to use, hot swapper for your express routes.

## Examples

```js

const express = require('express'); // normal express what nots

var app = express();

var router = require('./routers/router.js');

const RR = require('express-router-reload');

let reloader = new RR(app);

app.use("/route", router);

// After whatever else. Let's say you change the file

delete require.cache[require.resolve("./routers/router.js")];

router = require('./routers/router.js');

//now

reloader.reload("/route", router);

// Overwrites the old router with the new refreshed one!

```

#### An easier way:

```js

const RR = require('express-router-reload');

let reloader = new RR(app);

//express stuff...

reloader.reloadFromFile("/route", path.resolve(__dirname, "./routes/router.js"));

//The second paramater MUST be the full path.

//This basically just does the delete require.cache[require.resolve(path)] for you!

```
