nuxt/4/absolute-watch-path

This codemod converts paths emitted by Nuxt's builder:watch hook from relative to absolute, enhancing support for external directories and complex patterns.

🚦 Impact Level: Minimal

What Changed

The Nuxt builder:watch hook now emits a path that is absolute rather than relative to your project srcDir.

Reasons for Change

This change allows support for watching paths that are outside your srcDir, and offers better support for layers and other more complex patterns.

Before

jsx
Copy
nuxt.hook("builder:watch", (event, path) => {
  someFunction();
});

After

jsx
Copy
nuxt.hook("builder:watch", (event, path) => {
  path = relative(nuxt.options.srcDir, resolve(nuxt.options.srcDir, path));
  refreshFunction();
});
