Interesting. I am using the LiveReload app, which does full page refresh operations a lot, but that doesn't bother me.
I am also using yeoman
and angular.js
, which can LiveReload my client, but I haven't patched-in my custom Express server yet. I also haven't experimented with your grunt task to automate my webpack
step, yet.
Problems:
-
When to check?
Most other livereload-like frameworks & tools bundle a websocket server, just to emit events when source changes. That seems like a pretty big dependency to add to Webpack, but polling for changes seems like an outdated solution. What do you think? You said you have a prototype version, how did you implement it there?
from webpack.
The "prototype" is [email protected]
and only work on node.js, where I offer FileWatchers (watch: true
) or manual checking (.check(cb)
).
For webpack I plan to offer polling (every 10 minutes in production should be not problem, an update is not so important) and manual checking (so you could send a event if you have already some kind of bidirectional connection).
The grunt task does nothing special. It just runs webpack. (grunt's watch task is worse than webpack's)
Full page refreshing is already availible through the webpack-dev-server
.
The impl plan is to emit special update files to the output directory, which contain all info regarding the update. There will be one main update file <old-hash>.update.js
and updates for the chunks <x>.<old-hash>.update.js
. Only modules that were updated are contained in these packages and the main file contains info about the new hash and existing update chunks.
The client can check existance of the main update file and download it. Than it can download the needed update chunks. When this is finished an update is availible and can be applied. If it can't be applied the app may display some info to do a whole page refresh.
To create these update files webpack need to know old module ids, old content hashes and the old bundle hash. So we need to use a hot reploading file which stores the info (--hot <file>
, { hot: <file> }
).

This feature is really crazy ^^
from webpack.
Yes it's crazy...
Here is more explanation:
All goals above have been reached.
Only modules (or module chains) which have opt-it (using the module API) can be replaced. An update will abort if any updated module havn't opt-in.
One can use the management API to start an update: module.hot.check(function(err, renewedModules) { /* ... */ });
If no update found renewedModules === null
.
Elsewise it will download hot update chunks for each loaded chunk. After the update have been downloaded, the hot replacement code will determine modules that will be renewed. Then:
- the old modules are disposed,
- the new code is installed,
- the accept handlers are called, and
- the self accepted modules are required.
API: https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/hot-code-replacement
It must be globally enabled with --hot
/ options.hot = true
.
If one don't write own management api code, one can use prepared code in the webpack/hot folder:
webpack/hot/dev-server
for the webpack-dev-server.
webpack/hot/poll
uses polling to find a update. (poll?10000
to specify a interval in ms)
Simple add it as entry:
module.exports = {
entry: ["webpack/hot/poll?600000", "./entry.js"]
// ...
};
webpack "webpack/hot/poll?600000" ./entry.js bundle.js --hot --records-path records.json
The style-loader
and mocha-loader
automatically generate hot-replaceable code.
So a stylesheet can be changed without a full page refresh and tests with changed dependencies rerun.
TODOs:
- do not download empty update chunks
from webpack.
so integrated in my app at the page router with 10 LOC... App can update itself without full page refresh...
Thanks to @Phoscur for proposing the best feature ever! 😄
from webpack.
added a demo to http://webpack.github.io/example-app/
there are 2 updates.... you can apply them with the two buttons on the right.
from webpack.
Here is a graphical example:
Compile time
Left: first compilation
module 4 changed: async require to module 10 removed
module 9 changed: normal require to module 12 added
Right: second compilation including Hot Update Chunks
Runtime
Assuming module 4 accepts itself and module 2 accepts module 3.
- Disposing modules: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Calling accept handler in module 2 (accepting module 3)
- Require self-accepted module 4
from webpack.
Thank you for doing this.
