## README

# Ramukaka: an lightweight alternative to Nodemon.

## Intallation
`npm i ....`

## How to use it?
`ramukaka app.js`


<br>
## How can you make it?

It has 3 components:
- A CLI application
- A child process
- A event emitter on file changes

In simple term, we have to build a CLI application which will listen to file change event and create child process based on passed params.

How to Build CLI application in Node?

Check `index.js` file, it is starting with `#!/usr/bin/env node`. It tells system that the script (index.js) will be executed by `node` present at given path.

Also, in `package.json`,
We need to create duplicate node binary by adding bin section.

Now, our CLI application is ready...🚀

Run `npm link` to run it globally like `ramukaka [your_file_name.js]`

Lets build, watcher for file changes and child process creator:
We can use `chokidar` to look for changes and emit respective events.
On each events, we need to restart the child process. Also, we need to pipe std io to parent process to view logs.
