Parcel 2 about parcel-plugin-watch-reload

[hirasso]

Opened an issue for this on the parcel repo.

@hirasso Sure!

1. Install the Browsersync dependency npm install -g browser-sync
2. Install the Concurrently dependency: npm install -g concurrently

Example of the package.json setting will be:

{
script: {
"browsersync": "browser-sync start --proxy 'http://url-address.com' --files '**/*.php'",
"parcel": "parcel watch src/index.js scss/main.scss --out-dir dist/",
"dev": "concurrently --kill-others "npm run browsersync" "npm run parcel"",
}
}

That is how I managed to get it to work

Hi @morbidick , I haven't had the time yet to check out Parcel 2 and how to build plugins for it. As soon as I'll start using Parcel 2 in my projects, I will pretty sure try to rewrite this plugin or make another one just like it for Parcel 2.

At the moment I can't tell when this will be. If you want to contribute, I'm open for suggestions or even PRs :)

Hi @hirasso! How is the progression for fixing it to work with Parcel 2? :)

Hey @KoichaDev , please leave a +1 Reaction on this comment: parcel-bundler/parcel#5144 (reply in thread)

...the API I was using seems to be gone in parcel 2 - It seems the only way to get back the functionality of watch-reload is if it becomes part of the parcel 2 core somehow.

@hirasso Thanks for answering. I actually found a way to work, but it's not used with your solution though. I used Browsersync + parcel together in order to get it to work. Perhaps that would be a solution to implement instead?

@KoichaDev that's a great idea!! Would you mind posting your browsersync settings here? Then I could implement a solution that would work in both parcel 1 and 2...
