Is there a way for jetpack compose for web to use continuous update mode (as in making changes will be reflected on the web page without having to rerun)?

Like any Kotlin/JS project, you can run the frontend with ./gradlew browserRun --continuous to cold-reload. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/dev-server-continuous-compilation.html

(Note that this works for any Gradle task, you can also run your tests or your backend in continuous mode)

I didn't know that. Thank you.

@CLOVIS did you notice that when you change your code in continuous mode, it reloads like 6times before you see the actual change

[CLOVIS]

No? I had one project where it reloaded twice, but that's it

[ayodele]

Without disabled source map?

Thanks I'll check it out

@Cru you might want to check out my project https://github.com/varabyte/kobweb, it was designed from day #1 to support live reloading for Compose for Web development. I never really got ./gradlew browserRun --continuous to work quite like I wanted. In Kobweb, your page will show a "Building..." spinner when code is building and it will auto-refresh when done.

If you already tried --continuous mode in your own project and that worked for you, then carry on!
