Update any source file and your browserify bundle will be recompiled on the spot.
I hadn’t realised that watchify cached browserify’s work. I thought it was just a watcher, and since I use nodemon elsewhere, I just stuck to nodemon.
I was wondering if there were a caching plugin for browserify... and it was just there. Just to give an example, on a relatively small project:
– browserify building everything on any change: 4.98s
– watchify caching: 0.20s
Yeah, that’s a win.
