Ember-cli-hot-loader

An early look at what hot reloading might look like in the ember ecosystem

Installation

ember install ember-cli-hot-loader

During installation Ember CLI will prompt you to update the resolver code. This is required for ember-cli-hot-loader to work. If you have never modified the resolver, you can simply accept the changes or do a diff and update it manually. The final code should look something like:

import Resolver from 'ember-resolver';
import HotReloadMixin from 'ember-cli-hot-loader/mixins/hot-reload-resolver';

export default Resolver.extend(HotReloadMixin);

How to use this addon

After installing it, simply run ember serve as usual, any changes you do to supported types, will result in a hotreload (no brower refresh). Any additional changes will result in a regular liveReload.

Supported Types

At the moment, we only hotreload on component and its templates. ember-cli-styles-reloader will do the styles for you. For support for other types you can follow https://github.com/toranb/ember-cli-hot-loader/issues/6 or help us implement some of those.

Example application

To see this in action, you can clone this repo and run ember serve.
