Make watchify ignore node_modules by default

Open joguSD opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

For any project with more than a few dependencies polling on the node_modules directory requires a lot of cpu (nearly 100% in my vm). Adding ignoreWatch: true to watchify's options to enable the following ignore pattern: ignoreWatch: ['**/node_modules/**'] seems like a more sane default. This drastically reduces CPU usage when polling is enabled.

Related to #96, but doesn't directly fix it.

I still want us to detect changes to node_modules by default, maybe we could be a bit more clever about it though (maybe only poll every 5 seconds or something).
