Plugin Context Addwatchfile

Note that when emitting assets that correspond to an existing file, it is recommended to set the originalFileName property in the this.emitFile call instead as that will not only watch the file but also make the connection transparent to other plugins.

Note: Usually in watch mode to improve rebuild speed, the transform hook will only be triggered for a given module if its contents actually changed. Using this.addWatchFile from within the transform hook will make sure the transform hook is also reevaluated for this module if the watched file changes.

In general, it is recommended to use this.addWatchFile from within the hook that depends on the watched file.
