Full reload about node-hot-loader HOT 15 CLOSED

@aspirisen, take a look at autoRestart. Maybe it will usefull for you.
While I close the issue.

from node-hot-loader.

Adding code to entry file (where you starting server) may help:

  if (module.hot) {
    // For reload main module (self). It will restart server.
    module.hot.accept((err: Error) => console.error('Hot accept error:', err));
    module.hot.dispose(() => {
      console.log('Disposing entry module...');
      // ... other stuff
    });
  }

But if webpack HMR state is broken you should restart process manually at the moment.

The problem is that in case of 'module.hot.dispose' the global object is the same, i need full reload, how to indicate it?

from node-hot-loader.

It's just disposer callback: clear resources, close connections, etc. In 'module.hot.dispose' you steel have old state of all objects in current module. The global var is the same may be because a node process is not restarted (just hot reloaded some modules, but global scope is not changed). It seems to be how the webpack does its job.

Yes, and i am looking for a way how to tell node-hot-loader to do full reload instead of manually i.e. close terminal and open once again

from node-hot-loader.

There is no such feature. May be you don't need hor reload If you need new global scope? May be nodemon it's your choise. Or you should restore global scope manually in dispose callback.

In general HMR works for me, except updating several files because they are depended on global object.

from node-hot-loader.

You may add dispose to these files and restore global object as you need.

It's difficult to discuss without concrete example.

from node-hot-loader.

There is a third party library which provides decorators and this library uses global object to store decorators' data. This library is in node_modules so hmr doesn't affect it, change or reset global object i can't because the behavior becomes unpredictable, it would be good to have fallback option to reload the whole bundle

from node-hot-loader.

Try to add a whatcher (nodemod, webpack plugin or something else) for these files and restart whole process.

from node-hot-loader.

Ok, could you tell how to restart the process from bundle script?

from node-hot-loader.

process.exit and the same way you start it.
Stack overflow can help you.

from node-hot-loader.

Why not to add this feature to 'node-hot-loader' as i remember i.e. hmr will reload browser page in case of emergency

PR welcome! )
