# Reloady

[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/sleexyz/reloady.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/sleexyz/reloady)

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/reloady.svg?style=flat-square)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/reloady)

Automatically re-execute code when it changes, from anywhere in your code.

Great for:

- checkpointing while debugging slow tests (think browser tests)

- live-coding with node.js

## Usage

```

yarn add --dev reloady

```

Reloady can be initialized anywhere in your code. Just give it:

1. an absolute path to a module with a function as a default export

2. an optional argument to call the function with

Example:

```js

const reloady = require("reloady");

(async () => {

  const foo = 1;

  const bar = 2;

  await reloady({

    path: require.resolve("./debug"),

    input: { foo, bar }

  });

})();

```

Reloady returns a promise that never resolves, so you can `await` it as a sort of persistent debugger.

---

Now every time you change `./debug.js`, the module will be re-required and re-invoked with its given arguments.

```js

// ./debug.js

module.exports = async ({ foo, bar }) => {

  console.log(foo); // 1

  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));

  console.log(bar); // 2

}

```
