Bump

What does it do?

It writes a timestamp to a file when your chosen events fire.

What is it useful for?

Good question! 😅

Original Use Case: Vite Browser Reloading

If you are a Vite user, you can use vite-plugin-restart and configure it to watch the bump file.

Set the Entry Saved event to trigger a bump, and add the bump file to your Vite config:

ViteRestart({
    reload: [
        // your other watched files...
        // path to bump file
        'storage/runtime/bump.txt',
    ],
}),

Now when you save an entry in Craft, your Vite dev server will trigger a hot reload!
