The Basic

# foo.rb

require 'foo'

autoreload(1, true, 'sample1')

loop {
  puts foo
  sleep 1
}

In this situation, run the script ‘sample1.rb’. You see that the number 1 is shown repeatedly. Then, update the file ‘foo.rb’. For example, change the number 1 to 2 and save it. Then, the library automatically check the update and reload it. You’ll see the number 2 is shown.
