Experimental support for HMR

Alright, so we have finally landed support for HMR in experimental mode. Once you upgrade the @adonisjs/core and the @adonisjs/assembler packages to their latest releases, you can start using the HMR mode.

This is what you need to do.

npm i -D hot-hook @adonisjs/assembler@latest
npm i @adonisjs/core@latest

Next update the package.json file with the following configuration

"hotHook": {
    "boundaries": [
      "./app/controllers/**/*.ts",
      "./app/middlewares/*.ts"
    ]
  }

And start the HTTP server as follows.

node ace serve --unstable-hmr

If you use npm scripts, then make sure to update the dev script as well in the package.json file.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node ace serve --unstable-hmr"
  }
}
