browse

because it should not be so complicated - run code in browser with watch mode and reload

• Why • How • License •

Why

• need to just run a file in browser with no side effects (cache and temp files)
• Parcel CLI always creates .parcel-cache folders, even with --no-cache
• Vite CLI creates .parcel-cache folders
• Snowpack CLI serves a whole folder

How

Global

Once: npm i -g @hugov/browse Anywhere: browse pathToMyScript.js

Local

Once: npm i -D @hugov/browse Anywhere: npx browse pathToMyScript.js

Limitations

• Only chrome (uses Chrom Launcher and flags)
• no html entry for now (script/modules only)
