Hi all, I am getting started with the kotlin toolchain on a new project and would like to run my wasm-js app in development mode so it will hot reload. I have installed the latest dev build. What do I need to pass in the run configuration to turn that on?

Hi, I think we don't support live-autoreload yet

But you can start it manually and point to the build dir (where there bundled js app lives in build folder)

npx live-server <folder>

and if you need a browser support (browser listens to the events from the reload server and reloads the page), it's more complicated

you can add your own index.html into the resources/ folder of the web app, and when we build we will pick it up

and inside this index.html you can place some snippet like that:

<script>
  const ws = new WebSocket("<ws://localhost:35729>");
  ws.onmessage = (event) => {
    if (event.data === "reload") {
      window.location.reload();
    }
  };
</script>

or just wait until we support that automatically out of box, let me create an YT ticket

Thanks! I will try this out. Also, for some feedback on the toolchain and its CLI. It is such a better experience than Gradle, even now in alpha. Its so much more straight forward and easy to configure. This is exactly what Kotlin and KMP needed.
