Watch Mode - Laravel Starter Kits

For applications based on one of the official Laravel Starter Kits, there's an easy way to set up IntelliPest's watch mode, so you don't have to manually regenerate the helper file.

Modify the dev (and optionally dev:ssr) scripts in your composer.json to run IntelliPest in watch mode alongside your dev server and other processes:

"dev": [
    "Composer\\Config::disableProcessTimeout",
    "npx concurrently -c \"#93c5fd,#c4b5fd,#fb7185,#fdba74\" \"php artisan serve\" \"php artisan queue:listen --tries=1 --timeout=0\" \"php artisan pail --timeout=0\" \"pnpm run dev\" --names=server,queue,logs,vite --kill-others"
    "npx concurrently -c \"#93c5fd,#c4b5fd,#fb7185,#fdba74,#eb93fd\" \"php artisan serve\" \"php artisan queue:listen --tries=1 --timeout=0\" \"php artisan pail --timeout=0\" \"pnpm run dev\" \"./vendor/bin/intellipest --watch\" --names=server,queue,logs,vite,intellipest --kill-others"
],

NOTE

This approach can be used in other setups too. Simply modify the script that manages your local development processes to include ./vendor/bin/intellipest --watch.
