feat: yarn watch updates (specified) tests when source files change

[boukeversteegh]

Attempting to further improve developer workflow. Hoping - but not sure - that I didn't go too far, I would like feedback on these additions separately.

• Let yarn watch monitor source directories as well
  • Tell the user what to do when the sources change
  • Press Enter to recompile ALL proto files
  • Run yarn watch TEST1 TEST2 to automatically recompile TEST1 and TEST2 when sources change

$ yarn watch -h

Watches the integration directory for changes and regenerates .bin and .ts files.
Watches the src directory and regenerates given TEST files.

Usage:
    $ yarn watch [options] [TEST, TEST2, ...]
    $ ts-node watch.ts [options] [TEST, TEST2, ...]

Options:
    -h, --help    Show this help message.
    --polling     Use polling instead of native watchers.
    TEST          Regenerate the specified TEST(s) when implementation files change.
                  Equivalent to running 'yarn bin2ts TEST' manually each time.

Examples:
    $ yarn watch
    $ yarn watch --polling
    $ yarn watch simple struct

Example run

$ yarn watch
yarn run v1.22.10
$ ts-node integration/watch.ts

Watching for changes:
- integration/  Regenerating integration/*/*.proto to .bin and .ts

Press enter to regenerate code for all .proto files.
Press ctrl+c or q to exit

src/main.ts [watch] Plugin modified! Press [enter] to regenerate all integration tests or run 'yarn watch [TEST, ...]'. See 'yarn watch --help'.

Even more amazing! Thank you!

I'm pretty excited to use this; hacking on ts-proto is going to be so easy now :-)

Cool 👍 Hope it will prove useful!

The developer experience of ts-proto is quite nice once you have a PR open. I like how everything gets released automatically, so you can immediately enjoy the improvements without waiting for manual actions. The only thing that was hard was getting started and figuring out the commands. Hopefully this is now a lot better. It would be great if more devs will start playing with the source now and create pull requests. Cheers!
