Have you ever thought, how ‘nodemon’ works internally? Let’s build our own ‘nodemon’ in under 10 minutes!

• monex

  1 16 5.4 TypeScript

  Execute a script and restart it whenever it crashes or a watched file changes.

This post resonates with me, considering that I've written kind of alternative to nodemon too recently: https://github.com/fabiospampinato/monex

• watcher

  1 100 4.4 JavaScript

  The file system watcher that strives for perfection, with no native dependencies and optional rename detection support. (by fabiospampinato)

I haven't looked into memory usage in chokidar too much, but it'd guess it's just wasting a lot of memory keeping useless data out of Stats objects into memory. You can check out my filesystem watcher (https://github.com/fabiospampinato/watcher) to see how it only keeps in memory that bits that it needs.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored
