Start node generator without watcher

[Dzeri96]

Hi,
When testing my app, I'd like to generate the Translation class in order to check type safety with tsc. A script in package.json would look something like this:

"scripts": {
    "test": "typesafe-i18n && tsc && npm run testOnly",
    ...

But the problem is that the watcher keeps running and the script never continues executing. Would it be possible to have a one-shot mode of the typesafe-i18n command? I'd contribute if you don't have time.

Hi @Dzeri96,
I also need to implement this functionality for an upcoming feature. Just give me a few days :)

You can checkout the new --no-watch option in version 2.28.0

Thanks for the fast implementation! One suggestion I'd also make is to remove the chokidar dependency when running in one-shot mode. As far as I'm aware it's not needed in that case.

It's not needed to run but I would need to create an own bundle for the --no-watch option.
And I think this would not work with the bin attribute inside package.json.
