RoadRunner is able to automatically detect PHP file changes and reload connected services. Such approach allows you to develop application without the max_jobs: 1 or manual server reset.
To enable reloading for the http service (plugin):
version: "2.7"
reload:
# sync interval
interval: 1s
# global patterns to sync
patterns: [ ".php" ]
# list of included for sync services
services:
http:
# recursive search for file patterns to add
recursive: true
# ignored folders
ignore: [ "vendor" ]
# service specific file pattens to sync
patterns: [ ".php", ".go", ".md" ]
# directories to sync. If recursive is set to true,
# recursive sync will be applied only to the directories in `dirs` section
dirs: [ "." ]
The reload component will affect the performance of application server. Make sure to use it in development mode only. In the future we have plans to rewrite this plugin to use native OS capabilities of notification events.
