Use native --watch for node #118

Open eddyloewen opened 1 year ago

eddyloewen commented 1 year ago

Node has added a native watch mode in v18.11.0 (https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.11.0/) Would it be possible to implement this and would it maybe fix the problem of spinning up multiple node sessions in the debugger?

It actually doesn't help or change the underlying issue. The native --watch mode also just simply creates a new child process. I just tried it...

But I think that we actually don't need to completely nuke the process and start everything from scratch. Wouldn't it be enough to remove the old definitions (pages/layouts/compnents), register the new ones and load or override the (express) route handler functions?
