clean
subcommand to clear vinxi's build cache
#361
There's no command to clear vinxi's build cache.
For now, I run this in my Solid Start app:
This is useful because sometimes one might apply a patch to node_modules (for example, with
patch-package
) and if vinxi already cached the node_modules build, the changes will not show up in the app.The current workaround (rm -rf .output node_modules/.vinxi .vinxi
) is a little cumbersome because I have to quite and restart
vinxi dev` every time.clean
subcommandUsage of a new
clean
subcommand would be:--clean
option for other commandsVinxi could also benefit from a
--clean
option that when used would first clear the cache, then build or run without the cache. For example:I'm not sure if all of those sub commands use the cache, the
--clean
option would be for any subcommands that do rely on the cache.In the case of
vinxi dev --clean
, it would also be convenient for the app to auto-restart on changes to node_modules files that were used in the app (because they are no longer being cached), the same as with changes to local app files.Additionally, if the server does any sort of HTTP caching, it would be nice for that to also be skipped while the
--clean
option is enabled.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
