Rebuild the application after installing a new package

[reznord]

So, right now when I add a new package to the project, I have to restart the dev build, so that I can use the package that I've added.

It would be great if we can trigger a rebuild when a new package is added. CRA has this functionality and it is quite useful.

Any suggestions @developit @lukeed @rkostrzewski

@reznord In the CRA it's done by https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-dev-utils/WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin.js
And called like this https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/config/webpack.config.dev.js#L272

@knight-bubble I've seen this. Asking if adding this will get or helpful or not.

@reznord how about a postintall script in the package.json that runs preact build?

I don't think that will work, since the user may install a package from a new terminal instance. In that case the postinstall script doesn't work.

The CRA plugin looks neat.

Cool, I'll take this on.
