HMR for Stimulus controllers in Vite.js
This plugin for [Vite.js][vite] provides [HMR] for [Stimulus] controllers, allowing you to tweak your code without having to wait for the page to refresh.
Demo 🎥
Changes to Stimulus controllers don't require a full page refresh.
The modified controller will be re-registered, so existing instances of it will disconnect, and new instances will be created and connected with the updated code.
Installation 💿
HMR comes installed by default in [Jumpstart Rails with Vite.js][jumpstart], a starter template that you can use to start your next Rails app.
If installing manually:
Usage 🚀
Add it to your plugins in vite.config.js
You should now enjoy HMR for your Stimulus controllers! 🚀
How does it work? 🤔
In order to simplify integration, the plugin will try to automatically detect when you define your Stimulus app, as in:
It will then detect any controller files using the Stimulus conventions, and inject an HMR accept call that re-registers the updated controller.
Just as when you use Turbolinks, it's important that your controllers are [idempotent].
