Reload watcher when webpack.mix.js file is udpdated

[anewage]

Not sure if this is a relative issue, but there isn't so much of a change when the webpack.mix.js file is updated while the run watch <package name> is executing (changes in the webpack file are of course in the scope of the requested package!). So you have to stop the execution of that command, make the changes to webpack file and run it again to see the changes.

Again, not sure if this is an appropriate question or the webpack is technically not meant to change or update during watch operation.

Hey @anewage to achive this you can install nodemon : npm install -g nodemon
Then watch for changes: nodemon --watch webpack.mix.js node_modules/.bin/laravel-multimix watch

This can also be easily added to workflow by:

• adding nodemon to project devDependencies
• add a line like this :

"mix": "nodemon --watch webpack.mix.js node_modules/laravel-multimix/bin/mix"

For some reason nodemon didn't work until I removed the last watch. Thanks @pi0

"scripts": {
    "mix": "nodemon --watch webpack.mix.js node_modules/.bin/laravel-multimix"
}
