HotPress 🔥 - Hot Reloading for ExpressJs

Philosophy

• Why should you restart a http server just for a small change in your source code. isn't HTTP meant to be stateless.
• Aren't you meant to have a static fetch-once properties for development.

If you agree with those philosophies, then you'll love HotPress.

What HotPress does is that it only initializes the server and required parameters once and pass it to your virtual server (Router).

Usage

npm install @soniccodes/hotpress

yarn add @soniccodes/hotpress

./foo.js - The reloadable file

/**
  @param server : Router
**/
function reload(server) {
   server.get("/hi",function(req, res){
       res.send("hi")
   })
   //Anything you'd do with a normal server.  
}
modules.export = reload //This is very important

server.js

global.rootPatch = __dirname //Very important

const express = require("express")
const {setup,reload} = require("@soniccodes/hotpress")
const app = express()
setup({server:app,reloadable:"./foo.js"}) //Note: Relative path
app.listen(port,(err)=>{
   if(err) throw err;
   console.log("⚡ Ready on http://localhost:"+port);
})

Here's what you should expect.
