Improve watch config by vimtor · Pull Request #6675 · anomalyco/sst

vimtor · 2026-04-01T07:47:29Z

after checking existing file watchers like nodemon i've landed on the following config:

{
  watch: {
    paths: ["packages/www", "packages/api"],
    ignore: [".env", "packages/api/generated"]
  }
}

the existing watch: string[] will get deprecated in the next major version
