Configuration reference

Use a JSON object in .pyreloadrc or pyreload.json in the working directory.

Keys

Key	Type	Default	Purpose
`watch`	Array of strings	`["*.py"]`	Watch roots and patterns
`ignore`	Array of strings	`[]`	Excluded event paths
`polling`	Boolean	`false`	Use polling instead of native events
`debug`	Boolean	`false`	Show detected file changes
`clean`	Boolean	`false`	Hide watcher logs and disable commands
`exec`	Boolean	`false`	Execute the positional command in a shell

Minimal example

{
  "watch": ["src/*.py"],
  "ignore": ["*__pycache__*"],
  "polling": true
}

There is no command key, polling-interval key, or debounce option. Unknown keys are unused. Values are not schema-validated; use the types above. See file selection and precedence.
