Reloader for Main process

[philcockfield]

@shamofu - thanks SO MUCH for putting this boilerplate together! Hugely helpful 🍰💪.

I notice the main process does not auto re-load on changes (is that right, or am I missing something?). Makes sense as that's outside the purview of parcel, I guess.

But projects like electron-webpack seem to have figured out how to do HMR on main. Is this intentionally left out? Or do you have a strategy for how this might be done? Or (as above) and I missing something 😛.

Thanks.

Glad to hear that!

HMR on main process is intentionally left out for now because somehow Parcel 2 will support it in the future. (parcel-bundler/parcel#2492)
However, I will try to implement it in other ways until then.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me!

Oh, interesting! parcel-2...reading up on that now. Thanks.

Might be worth mentioning the HMR support in the readme isn't available presently?

There is a tracking issue here which appears to have some workarounds mentioned if you want to go that route? Parcel 2 still looks like it's a while away (17.7% complete so far) (Project Board)
