startup / dispose hooks? about vinxi HOT 7 CLOSED

thanks @nksaraf , this looks promising... but I'm actually not sure how to use those hooks.

Maybe you could have a look at this demo repo: https://github.com/Torsten85/vinxi-hooks

Im trying to make a connection on startup (ideally before using a server function) and closing the connection on dev server reload. None of the hooks get called when I e.g. change a line in my ./app/db.ts file.

Okay so we need hooks for startup, dev-server-reload, SIGTERM. Let me see how I can provide these. What do you mean by startup exactly?

@nksaraf thanks for your quick answer!

I think a startup hook is not necessarry (at least for me) when it's not considered "bad practice" to simply execute code in the global scope of a file (e.g. establish a database connection).

My specific use case at the moment is a device that is connected to the server via a serial port. Before the dev server reloads, I have to disconnect the port so it's not busy when the script gets executed again.

I'm trying out the new solid start beta 2, but I think this is the repo where such functionality has to be implemented, right?

Yup yup! Okay so a hook into when the dev server reloads, sure ill come up with something

Great! Looking forward to what you come up with 😉 Thanks!

Imho the startup/dispose hooks would be very useful, especially to handle long running processes like websockets 😅. And Reload could be an own hook, or even a chained dispose->startup call 🤔

I have added some hooks to the dev server in vinxi:0.0.57. So you can hook into things by calling app.hooks.hook("...", () => {... }).

You can see the new hooks added here with what they include: https://github.com/nksaraf/vinxi/pull/61/files#diff-3a4ea6e82afa6f2244667633ca180235ba149da469920af7161255bbb11bb35a

You can checkout the order of hooks here. Each hooks also comes with some data like an instance of the app, along with the dev server, etc.

Inside your application you can access the app via globalThis.app. I might create a helper function for this but ideally don't want this exposed too much yet until we know what might people do with it.
