ExRerun

Recompiles mix project on any change to the project src files.

The initial version of this project is inspired by the - currently unmaintained - remix project by AgilionApps: https://github.com/AgilionApps/remix

Installation

Install ex_rerun by adding it as a dependency to mix.exs.

def deps do
  [{:ex_rerun, "~> 0.1", only: :dev}]
end

Configuration

It is possible to configure ex_rerun using the following parameters:

Note: the example below shows the default values.

config :ex_rerun,
  scan_interval: 4000,
  silent: false,
  elm: false,
  test: false,
  escript: false,
  paths: ["lib", "priv"],
  file_types: [".ex", ".exs", ".eex", ".json"]

where:

• scan_interval specifies the number of ms to wait between rerun checks,
• silent toggles whether to print every time ex_rerun recompiles,
• elm toggles whether to run the elm compilation task on recompile, requires elm_compile to be installed as a project dependency,
• test toggles whether to also run mix test after each recompilation,
• escript toggles whether to run the escript compilation task on recompile,
• paths lists which folders to monitor, and
• file_types lists which files that will trigger a rerun when changed.
