Lightweight library for "hot code" reloading.

Check the demo

Install the latest version from rubygems.

$ gem install ak

Require the ak gem and set the environment and root directory.
The reloader will not work if the environment is not development.

require 'ak'

Ak.env = 'development'
Ak.root = File.expand_path('../', __FILE__)

Ak.require 'path/to/file'
Ak.require_relative 'file'
Ak.require_folders 'lib', 'app'

These methods will require the file and will automatically load the constant.

You can still use the ruby syntax for requiring the files and also reload the constants, i.e:

require_relative 'file'
require_relative 'lib/test'
require_relative 'app/test'

Ak.reload 'file'
Ak.reload_folders 'lib', 'app'

If the class name doesn't match with the file name, you can do this:

Ak.require 'test_file', const: :AnotherClassName
Ak.require 'test_file', const: 'Module::Class'

Listen for changes:

Ak.start

• Finish Cuba App
• Tests
• Support callbacks
• Improves constant finder
