Build System

Watch Mode Improvement

Priority: Medium
Status: Pending
Created: 2024-12-22

Problem

tsup's watch mode doesn't detect changes in workspace dependencies (e.g., shared package) in our monorepo setup.

Current Workaround

Currently, developers need to manually rebuild when making changes to the shared package.

Potential Solutions

1. Use chokidar to watch shared package files
   • Pros: Direct file system watching
   • Cons: Additional dependency
2. Integrate with turborepo's watch feature
   • Pros: Native monorepo support
   • Cons: Requires turborepo setup
3. Use nodemon for development
   • Pros: Simple to implement
   • Cons: Additional tooling

Next Steps

1. Research the impact on development workflow
2. Evaluate each solution's trade-offs
3. Implement the chosen solution
4. Add tests for the watch mode
5. Update documentation
