Feature request : Hot Reload / Live Reload

Not sure why you would not do it in your code with (reload (location body)) or at a REPL (just set a global to current window while testing)?

If you mean individual elements. same exact thing - just do it. CLOG is always live. Maybe give me example as you may not have made the leap to a CLOG brain yet :) CLOG is the original hot load :) (setf *t* (create-div body :content "hello") (setf (text-value *t*) "Hello World!")

Thanks a lot !
I am new to common lisp and clog. I see that reload is in the manual and used in the tutorial 14, sry I missed it.

So for the live reload I did the following :

(defun dev-live-reload ()
  (progn
   (if (not (boundp '*CURRENT-WINDOW*))
       (defparameter *CURRENT-WINDOW* nil))
   (if (and *CURRENT-WINDOW* (equal (type-of *CURRENT-WINDOW*) 'clog-location))
       (reload *CURRENT-WINDOW*))))
       
(defun on-index (body)
  (setf *CURRENT-WINDOW* (location body))
  ;; .... 
)

(defun start-app ()
  (initialize 'on-index)
  (open-browser))

;; reload the page
(dev-live-reload)

Now I just do my changes, reload the file and the browser also reload itself !

In most cases you probably don't need to ever reload as you are writing an App not a web page :) You will see :) That is part of the CL power you are having a conversation with it, not writing a program.

Also, if you use Emacs or lem, you can just bind a key binding to call something like:

  (defun reload (obj)
    (url-replace (location body) "/"))

Here is my Lem binding: https://github.com/aykaramba/edgar/blob/main/commands.lisp

I load that up in my EDGAR project, it is Lem specific. I need to write one for Emacs as well.

When I am coding in C-c all the time and when I want to see my changes updated in the browser I just C-v whenever I want.
