Reload less.

Pistol

n. A small tool designed to reload your rack application.

Get it!

$ gem install pistol

Usage

# app.rb
require "sinatra/base"
require "pistol"

class App < Sinatra::Base
  use Pistol, Dir[__FILE__, "./app/**/*.rb"] do
    reset! and load(__FILE__)
  end
end

Dir["./app/**/*.rb"].each { |file| require file }

What this does:

1. It instructs Pistol to watch for changes in any of the files passed.
2. If changes occur, the block is executed.

Only in development?

Sure. Simply change it to:

class App < Sinatra::Base
  configure :development do
    use Pistol, Dir[__FILE__, "./app/**/*.rb"] do
      reset! and load(__FILE__)
    end
  end
end
