Attempt to make hot reloading for php scripts (Amp for example)

Installation

composer require --dev vajexal/hot-reload

Usage

Amp server for example

server.php

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Amp\Http\Server\HttpServer;
use Amp\Http\Server\RequestHandler\CallableRequestHandler;
use Amp\Http\Server\Response;
use Amp\Http\Status;
use Amp\Loop;
use Amp\Socket;
use Psr\Log\NullLogger;

Loop::run(static function () {
    $servers = [
        Socket\Server::listen('0.0.0.0:1337'),
    ];

    $server = new HttpServer($servers, new CallableRequestHandler(static function () {
        return new Response(Status::OK, [], 'Hello World');
    }), new NullLogger);

    yield $server->start();
});

./vendor/bin/hot-reload server.php

Now you can modify server.php and see changes without restarting the script

Alternatives

• facebook watchman

watchman watch $(pwd)
watchman -- trigger $(pwd) hot-reload '*.php' -- php server.php

• entr

ls *.php | entr -r php server.php

Notes

• package use filesystem polling, so it will add some cpu usage
• vendor, .idea, .git dirs aren't watched
