Module Hot Loading enables a super efficient workflow without the pain of manual reloading of your web application. What do I mean by that? Well, the usual web developer cycle is:

1. Write code
2. Save code
3. Switch to Browser
4. Hit Reload
5. See what happens
6. Switch back to Editor

Half those steps (3, 4 and 6) are manual and very repetitive if you want to have an incremental development experience. They can be automated completely.

There are some frameworks that support Module hot-loading by now. ClojureScript and Elm probably were the first languages to support that paradigm, but it’s possible in JavaScript as well, by now.

This is a demo...

• riotjs
• #javascript
• #spa
• #module
• #webpack
