Watching of serve command doesn't seem to be recursive

I am not sure if it is a bug (if recursive watching is intended to work), but I believe such feature would be useful.

$ tree docs
docs
├── assets
│   ├── codedoc-bundle.entry.js
│   ├── codedoc-bundle.js
│   ├── codedoc-bundle.meta.json
│   └── codedoc-styles.css

│   └── index.html
└── md

    │   └── index.md
    ├── index.md
    └── _toc.md

when I run codedoc serve, it doesn’t pickup changes in docs/md/api/index.md (it detects changes in docs/md/index.md correctly).

It’s possible I have it misconfigured, my config.ts (which works for serve and build, meaning it compiles and paths are correct):

import {configuration} from '@codedoc/core';

import {theme} from './theme';


export const config = /*#__PURE__*/configuration({
  theme,                                  // --> add the theme. modify `./theme.ts` for chaning the theme.

  page: {
    title: {
      base: 'Golden Gadget'               // --> the base title of your doc pages
    }
  },

  dest: {
    html: 'docs/dist',
    assets: 'docs/dist',
    bundle: '.',
    styles: '.',
    namespace: '/golden-gadget'
  }

});

I don’t think I changed any other file (except index.tsx in content, but that should not be related, just the hamburger being opened by default).

If anyone encounters similar issue, here is my current workaround:

find docs/md | entr -r codedoc serve

Sorry, don’t have much free time now. Just quickly tested it on a fresh project (same directory structure as my original project), and change detection is working now 🙂. Thank you very much.

as part of this commit, this also should be fixed. the fix is deployed via the combination of @codedoc/core@0.2.0 and @codedoc/cli@0.2.0, and you should be able to update to it like this:

npm i -g @codedoc/cli@latest
codedoc update latest

in this update, tiered watching is used, and markdown files are now watched using node-watch, which should be able to properly watch recursive file changes on Linux machines as well. ts-node-dev is only used for watching TypeScript code, which should already be working properly with recursive watching even on Linux machines.

@mnn since I do not have a Linux machine for testing, I am going to keep this issue open for now until you confirm this update fixes the recursive watching issue.
