# webpack-electron-reload
[Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) plugin that restarts [Electron](https://electronjs.org/) main process automatically on webpack build. Inspired by [electron-reload-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/O4epegb/electron-reload-webpack-plugin).
## Installation
```
npm install --save-dev webpack-electron-reload
```
## Usage
### Add plugin to webpack config
```
const path = require('path');
const ElectronReloadPlugin = require('webpack-electron-reload')({
path: path.join(__dirname, './dist/main.js'),
});
module.exports = {
// ...
target: 'electron-main',
plugins: [
// ...
ElectronReloadPlugin()
],
// ...
};
```
### Start webpack with 'watch' option
```
webpack --watch
```
Plugin will start/restart electron app when webpack rebuilds sources.
