Tweak React components in real time.

React Hot Loader

This is a stable for daily use in development implementation of React live code editing.

• Get inspired by a demo video and try the live demo.

• Read the integration walkthrough.

• Use one of the starter kits for your next React project.

Installation

npm install --save-dev react-hot-loader

Usage

If you want to try hot reloading in a new project, try one of the starter kits, React Hot Boilerplate being the most minimal one.

To use hot loader in an existing project, you need to

• switch to Webpack for builds (instead of RequireJS or Browserify);
• enable Hot Module Replacement, which is a Webpack feature;
• configure Webpack to use React Hot Loader for JS or JSX files.

These steps are covered by the walkthrough.

Troubleshooting

If something doesn't work, in 99% cases it's a configuration issue. A missing option, a wrong path or port. Webpack is very strict about configuration, and the best way to find out what's wrong is to compare your project to an already working setup, such as React Hot Boilerplate, bit by bit. We're also gathering Troubleshooting Recipes so send a PR if you have a lesson to share!

Documentation

Docs are in a bit of a flux right now because I'm in the process of updating everything to document the major 1.0 release.

If you just learned about React Hot Loader and want to find out more, check out the walkthrough and then try one of the starter kits.

If you've been with us for a while, read 1.0 release notes and migration guide.
