Cool to see that support for watching has been added. Thanks @webketje for that.
What is everyone doing for local site testing? I had been using metalsmith-serve but it's now officially archived and had been dependent on node-static which has unresolved security issues. This feels like another thing that should be easy to do with Metalsmith and that there should be a built-in (or at least officially sanctioned) way to do this. FWIW, 11ty does with https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-dev-server. Curious what others are doing here. Adding it to this issue as it could merit inclusion somewhere on the roadmap.

@exortech I added a section to the docs a while ago about auto-rebuild and browser live-reload
I posted a signature snippet in the Gitter channel with the signature of the future watch feature (it collects config from clean() and watch() methods and can be used with process() too):
Metalsmith(__dirname)
// watches metalsmith.source() by default
.watch(true)
// watch custom dirs, override chokidar options
.watch(['layouts', 'src'], { interval: 2000 })
// clean: true for full rebuild, false for partial
.clean(false)
// output files...
.build(funtion onEachRebuild(err, files) {
// if clean:false, files will only be the changed files!
console.log('Rebuild finished!')
})
// or only do a 'dry-run' (no writes)
.process(funtion onEachReprocess(err, files) {
// if clean:false, files will only be the changed files!
console.log('Reprocessed!')
})
Below is a snippet of my local tests using browser-sync as dev-server in combination with the 2.6 watcher, it's quite straight-forward:
const bs = require('browser-sync')
const devserver = bs.create('devserver')
devserver.init({ server: 'build', open: false, port: 3000, watch: false, injectChanges: false })
metalsmith
.clean(false)
.watch(['lib','src'])
.env('DEBUG', process.env.DEBUG)
.build((err, files => {
if (err) {
console.log(err)
throw err;
}
console.log(`Reprocessed ${Object.keys(files).length} files`);
devserver.reload()
});
}

Thanks @webketje. Much appreciated. I'll give it a try.
