Less is more

This is a temporary stopgap solution to solve the manual and slow development feedback loop when iterating sample apps and sdk together.

Optimised development workflow

Running the following command at the root of repo will watch for any changes once built.

# yarn run dev

This short term fix will involve running rollup in watch mode as the dev command to quickly rebuild on save for changes, rather than manually building out everything.

Future plans involve discussing the attempt to move away from the dist folder as the export for a package, and using the src folder directly instead, which would prevent the need for any rebuilds on save as the TypeScript server would be able to pick up the changes immediately.

If this won't be possible, the next step would be caching rebuilds as much as possible to minimize unnecessary builds, and speeding up the TS to JS compilation and TS declaration files creation as much as possible.

Notes

• If you've never run yarn build or yarn dev before, yarn dev might fail as it’s running in parallel and could be missing package dependencies. It would be best to ensure yarn build has been run and built packages are available before running dev mode.
• You need to make sure your sample app/package has a dev script to make it work
