I'm currently developing a simple web application.

But I find it tedious to rebuild my app whenever I update my source files.

Is there any way to automatically build and run my web app whenever i update my source files?

    You may want to look into writing automated tests instead of manually debugging the app. Then, when making a change, you'll just have to rerun the tests, which is much less tedious. Commented Nov 8, 2017 at 9:58
  • @DamienMATHIEU, i'm not trying to debug, i'm looking for tool/package to automatically, build and rerun my web app whenever I update my source file. Commented Nov 8, 2017 at 10:00
  • my point is that with automated tests, you wouldn't need to build and rerun the app all the time. You'd just need to rerun the tests. Commented Nov 8, 2017 at 10:20

There is a very handy tool called pilu/fresh you might wanna check it out. We are personally using it on our project to automatically rebuild our code.

It's a very nice tool because it allows you to customize the file types to watch, and ignore files inside specified directories.

Hope this is what you're looking for.
