lume server doesn't reset computed extraData

[fserb]

I have a plugin that does a Table of Contents based on Headings (h1, h2, h3... instead of tags). For this, I process() each page and extract the headings. All is good and it works fine.

The problem comes when I run lume in server/watch mode.
In that case, there doesn't seem to be way to "reset" the TOC and not double it at every reload, since I need to keep it global to all pages.

If I try as a global list, it obviously doesn't get cleared.
But if I try as part of site.extraData, it also doesn't get cleared.

I think it might be overkill to have a site.rebuild(callback), but it feels like this should have a proper solution? I tried using events, but beforeBuild is not called all the time and beforeUpdate only reload some files. My current solution is to find a way to update the TOC instead of adding to it.

(related, but not really, it would be really nice to have a --watch option that does only watch/rebuild and no HTTP server)

Can I see the plugin? I think the event you need it beforeUpdate, that is triggered just before every new rebuild, but maybe if I take a look to the plugin I can help you to find the best solution.

And about the --watch option, why do you need this? Do you want to use a different HTTP server or you don't need a server at all?

For the --watch, yes. I have a nginx running that has HTTPS on my local machine.

It's also a bit annoying if I do my own file watch and rerun Lume, because i's a bit slow to redo everything (and copy files, etc) (like 1s as opposed to a 100-200ms).

(nevermind the original bug here)

Ok, I just looked your plugin and have some thoughs, but if you already solved it, ok :)

And about the --watch, it's easy to implement so I'll add it in the next version.

(thank you so much for the --watch)
