This package is not auto-updated.

Last update: 2025-10-31 00:40:27 UTC

README

This is a simple package that will allow you to live reload a script that would stay alive via a cli command (daemon). For example, if you have a infinite while loop running in a script and do not want to stop and restart every time you make a change, this package will work well for you.

Credit

Thanks to the package felippe-regazio/php-hot-reloader for a great way to check for changes with a directory and files.
