Hot Reloading
Proton Native now has support for hot reloading right out of the box! This allows you to edit code and see the results appear instantly, without modifying any of the state.
Usage
All of this is baked into your Proton Native application when it is created with the
proton-native-cli.
npm run dev # Starts the server and your application with it
How it works
Knowing how hot reloading works can be useful if you want to use it in particularly advanced situations.
Hot reloading revolves around webpack. Every Proton Native application is shipped
with a default webpack.config.js that is suitable for most applications. It will package everything into
one JS file in the dist/ directory, and watch for any changes.
Changes are communicated to your index.js file. This file renders your component,
accepts any update notifications, and if so, pulls the latest version, and forces
an update down the entire React tree. Using react-proxy, your state stays the same
while all necessary components are updated. react-proxy is baked into Proton Native,
and is only used in development mode (ie. setting NODE_ENV to production disables
hot reloading).
Gotchas
- Don't register your component in
app.js, only inindex.js - Make sure your root component is the default export in
app.js - This does not currently work with Redux (any help is appreciated)
- Does not work with class instance properties (due to
react-proxy)- To get around this, instead create a function which returns your value. More details can be seen inside the Calculator example.
