Synopsis
amok [options] <script>Installation
npm install amok -g
Description
Amok standalone command line tool for rapid prototyping and development of JavaScript applications.
It monitors changes in the file system. As soon as you save a file, it is then preprocessed, compiled and bundled as needed, and re-compiled in the client session without refreshing or restarting the client.
This re-compilation is done through a debugging session, unlike reloading or reevaluation, re-compilation leaves the application state intact, no side effects are executed when doing re-compilation.
Additional features include a zero configuration http development server for developing front end applications, an interactive mode (read–eval–print loop) and console redirection.
