Watch rebuilds all Patterns

[lory87]

Hi

When I run "npm run patternlab:serve". It serves and watches for changes. But watch doesn't rebuild just changed pattern. It rebuilds the whole patterns. This is very time consuming if the project is big.

Is it possible to just watch for related changes?

Hi @lory87
In the patternlab-config, you can turn cleanPublic: false, and that will only build what's changed, otherwise it wipes all patterns every change.

Hope that's what you're looking for.

Hi @mbulfair

Thank you for your response. It works wit cleanPublic: false. But it just works if I do changes in Mustache file. It doesn't watch for changes in JSON files.

I tested it in your project as well and there is the same problem.

I believe the .json patterns still has a bug, I am working on the core 3.x upgrade which should address this issue.

Hi @mbulfair

Could you already do something regarding the watch json issue?

@lory87 The upcoming release addresses this issue, I've made changes to .json and .json pseudo patterns, the build is triggered and there's a page refresh.
