[Question] Parcel serve in npm monorepo. Is it watching source code of deps too?

[karen-sarkisyan]

Hi,
I'm switching to Parcel in my project and I'm loving it so far. In fact, I want to ask whether it is as good as it seems. I have a file structure like this:

demo/
├─ src/
├─ package.json
packages/
├─ my-package/
│  ├─ src/
│  ├─ package.json
package.json

I set up 2 npm workspaces: demo, and my-package. demo is a react app that uses my-package, a react component, as a dependency.

I expected to run parcel watch for my-package and parcel serve for demo in parallel, so that changes in my-package's source code are triggering a re-bundle, which is then used in demo react app.

But instead, running parcel serve in my demo folder is already watching changes in source code of my-package and does HMR if I update something 🤯

Is it an intended behavior? Or is it some side effect of my configuration that I shouldn't count will keep working?

Here's a link to the repo of my project where I have it working: https://github.com/karen-sarkisyan/react-wordpress-comments/
