Solid Refresh

# Solid Refresh

```bash
npm i -D solid-refresh
```

```bash
yarn add -D solid-refresh
```

```bash
pnpm add -D solid-refresh
```

This project aims to provide HMR for Solid for various bundlers. It comes with a babel plugin and a runtime. Over time I hope to add different bundlers. Today it supports:

* Vite (with option `bundler: "vite"`)
* Snowpack (with option `bundler: "esm"`)
* Webpack (for strict ESM, use option `bundler: "webpack5"`)
* Nollup

## Setup

### Vite

`solid-refresh` is already built into [`vite-plugin-solid`](https://github.com/solidjs/vite-plugin-solid).

### Webpack & Rspack

You can read the following guides first, respectively:

* [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/guides/hot-module-replacement#enabling-hmr)
* [Rspack](https://www.rspack.dev/guide/dev-server.html#hmr)
* [Rspack SolidJS guide](https://www.rspack.dev/guide/solid.html)

> [!NOTE]
> Rspack has HMR already enabled by default. The guide only tells you how to disable it or run the dev server on a proxy server.

Requires the use of [`babel-loader`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-loader). Add the following to `.babelrc`:

```json
{
"env": {
"development": {
"plugins": ["solid-refresh/babel"]
}
}
}
```

If you're using strict ESM a.k.a. `import.meta.webpackHot`:

```json
{
"env": {
"development": {
"plugins": [["solid-refresh/babel", {
"bundler": "webpack5" // or "rspack-esm"
}]]
}
}
}
```

In your webpack config, be sure to have the following options:

```js
devServer: {
liveReload: false,
hot: true,
}
```

### Parcel

Add the following to `.babelrc`:

```json
{
"env": {
"development": {
"presets": [
["babel-preset-solid"]
],
"plugins": [
["module:solid-refresh/babel"]
]
},
"production": {
"presets": [
["babel-preset-solid"]
],
"plugins": [
]
}
}
}
```

Parcel doesn't enable package exports by default, which allows loading the dev version of SolidJS. To enable it, the following must be added in `package.json` (in accordance with [this document](https://parceljs.org/features/dependency-resolution/#enabling-package-exports)):

```json
{
"@parcel/resolver-default": {
"packageExports": true
}
}
```

### Nollup

Requires the use of [`@rollup/plugin-babel`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rollup/plugin-babel). Add the following to `.babelrc`:

```json
{
"env": {
"development": {
"plugins": ["solid-refresh/babel"]
}
}
}
```

### Snowpack

Requires the use of [`@snowpack/plugin-babel`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@snowpack/plugin-babel). Add the following to `.babelrc`:

```json
{
"env": {
"development": {
"plugins": ["solid-refresh/babel", { "bundler": "esm" }]
}
}
}
```

### Other dev servers

* [`wmr`](https://wmr.dev/)
* SolidJS is yet to be supported or isn't clear yet. It will use the same config as Snowpack.
* [`rollup-plugin-hot`](https://github.com/rixo/rollup-plugin-hot)
* The library uses almost an ESM HMR-like API however it behaves the same way as Parcel. Supporting this library is still unclear.
* [`@web/dev-server`](https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server)
* The library supports HMR through their [HMR Plugin](https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server/plugins/hmr). The HMR interface is basically the same as Snowpack's.

### Development Environment

In any case, your build system needs to support conditional exports and have the `development` condition set.

> [!WARNING]
> In some standard HMR implementations, this may cause your app to reload the full page if the development environment isn't properly set!

## How it works

The babel plugin will transform components with matching Pascal-cased names (indicating that they are components). This detection is supported in variable declarations, function declarations and named exports:

```jsx
// This works
function Foo() {
return

Hello Foo

;
}

// This also works
const Bar = () =>

Hello Bar

;
```

The components are wrapped and memoized. When the module receives an update, it replaces the old components from the old module with the new components.

## Automatic Render Cleanup

The plugin automatically handles cleanups for unhandled `render` and `hydrate` calls from `solid-js/web`.

You can disable this feature entirely through the option `"fixRender": false`.

## Pragma

On a per file basis, use comments at top of file to opt out(change moves up to parent):

```js
/* @refresh skip */
```

Or force reload:

```js
/* @refresh reload */
```

## Limitations

* Preserving state is applied partially.
* No HOC support.

## Custom `render`/`createContext`

You can define custom `render`/`createContext` calls by using the `imports` option

```js
{
"imports": [
{
// Only either "render" or "createContext"
"type": "render",
// Import identifier
"name": "render",
// Kind of import (named or default)
"kind": "named",
// Module source
"source": "my-solid-library"
}
],
}
```

## Other Configs

### Granular Mode

Granular mode for HMR (which allows independent HMR for components and templates) is enabled by default. You can disable this by adding `granular: false`.

### JSX HMR

JSX, by default, is moved to a separate component to perform granular HMR. To disable this, add `jsx: false`.
