A few years ago, I would’ve told you to install cd, top, and pwd. But not anymore, my friend. The new era of Rust-based command line applications has arrived, and you don’t want to be left behind.

Help with path module.
Paths between different operating systems is a PITA. You should use a package for that, the npm cli uses this https://www.npmjs.com/package/mkdirp

The best testing setup for frontends, with Playwright and NextJS
For this, we'll use chokidar - more specifically the chokidar-cli package. chokidar is probably the most useful file watching library for the nodejs ecosystem and it will serve us well.

Why Does 'Is-Number' Package Have 59M Weekly Downloads?
tailwindcss -> chokidar -> braces -> fill-range -> to-regex-range -> is-number
is-number was first published 9 years ago, when these kind of micro-packages were in vogue. braces was added as a dependency to chokidar over 6 years ago [1]. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't think the average JS dev today is going out and pulling in these deps.

How nodemon works?
The watching magic is really in the https://www.npmjs.com/package/chokidar library

Dart 3.1 and a retrospective on functional style programming in Dart
> It’s typical to listen to this stream of events and use chained if-else statements to determine an action based on the type of the events that occur.
You'd think something like directory watching would have a clear set of events that would make nice objects with consistent meanings, but in my experience file watching gets crazy complicated, and can have all sorts of edge cases.
Just take a looked here for all the various edge cases that crop up: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/issues
Then you have linux, windows, macos, and maybe you want to abstract over some underlying implementation like chokidar vs fb/watchman vs webpack/watchpack. Every new OS release could also cause things to change.
So usually its going to be a bunch of if-else statements hacked together to get around edge cases, and have to be revisited later on.
Any attempt to abstract this into objects, just obfuscates things. And OO forces you to name things, when in fact they might be un-nameable. `FileSystemModifyEventExceptWhenXAndYAndSometimesZ`.
The behavior might rely on a series of events together, so the object hierarchy must be re-worked.
OO has this rosy idea that we just have to come up with the perfect hierarchy, but things change in unexpected ways, and everything must have a descriptive noun.

Is there anyway to auto reload the browser page when using express?
Next, you can use a library like chokidar to listen for changes in your source directory. Create a ws server, and whenever a file changes, send a message.

How does nodemon works under the hood?
As another has mentioned, nodemon uses chokidar under the hood for the actual file watching part.

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
At the end of the day, ironically, Nodemon does not even implement file watching functionality. It is a thin wrapper around chokidar (see source code), and the way it is being used is neither efficient (CPU and your battery usage) or performant. So it is not a false argument, just perhaps not the most appealing.

Setup TailwindCSS, postcss and esbuild on Rails 7
First, we need to install chokidar to enable watching and automatically refreshing our files.
What are some alternatives?
fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()
Filehound - Flexible and fluent interface for searching the file system
rimraf - A `rm -rf` util for nodejs
Nodemon.io - Monitor for any changes in your node.js application and automatically restart the server - perfect for development
move-file - Move a file - Even works across devices
graceful-fs - fs with incremental backoff on EMFILE
Watch-fn
make-dir - Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`
filenamify - Convert a string to a valid safe filename
write-json-file - Stringify and write JSON to a file atomically
globby - User-friendly glob matching
