Watch mode to circular dependencies

[chrisgfortes]

Is there a way to use madge CLI in a watch mode to circular dependencies? Since that we are developing, have it running in a console it will be nice.

Thanks

As a quick approach, I'd search for any module that lets you run a command on a file change and wire that up to run the madge command you're using.

Another approach is to add support for a new watch option in Madge that uses a file watcher (like the sane module) that invokes madge's entry point with the given arguments; you'd effectively end up rerunning madge on every file change.

The best but more involved solution is to layer on caching so that madge/dependency-tree only recompute parts of the tree that have changed. With the previous methods, the files that have changed are ignored and only used as a trigger to rerun madge. This would take some exploration but would be really cool.
