## What Is It?

Autoreload reloads libraries automatically at regular intervals
when files are updated.


## Installing

<pre syntax="ruby">$ gem install autoreload</pre>


## The Basics

--- html

<pre class="ruby">
  # foo.rb
  def foo
    1
  end
</pre>

<pre class="ruby">
  # sample1.rb
  require 'autoreload'

  autoreload(:interval=>1, :verbose=>true) do
    require 'foo'
  end

  loop {
    puts foo
    sleep 1
  }
</pre>

--- markdown

In this situation, run the script `sample1.rb`. You see that the
number 1 is shown repeatedly. Then, while that is still running,
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.
