Is there a possibility to call "webpackIsomorphicTools.refresh();" outside of rendering middleware? about webpack-isomorphic-tools HOT 3 CLOSED

Well, you could try to add a parameter to your rendering middleware.
Like onClick but that would be onRender.
Pass webpackIsomorphicTools.refresh.bind(webpackIsomorphicTools) and call it during refresh.

good idea, thanks.
Would you consider having some kind of files watcher just for development mode to clear assets cache? maybe in this case webpackIsomorphicTools.refresh(); will be not necessary at all.
I could submit a pull request If you are interested. Let me know what do you think.

No go for embedding a file watcher inside webpack-isomorphic-tools.

In your case there are two npm packages which aren't connected to each other in any way, and still you want to have a way for one npm package to know when an event in the other npm package fires.

I guess a classic on-render listener function is the simplest solution in your case
