But that can be done later
i commited a fix
in the Main.fs you'd add a call like |> Program.enableLiveReload
this would setup a filesystemwatcher over the project directory
when there's a change it would call dotnet build and specify the output path somewhere else like /bin/LiveReload instead of /bin/Debug so the build doesn't fail because the app is running
then it would Assembly.Load the new binary/binaries
and replace the view function
It's pretty simple how you described it
....
Bindings for Popup are complicated
Well im trying to build a poc of the live thing
- Make another app "Live Preview"
- App you want to preview implements method on Program "CreatePreview : unit -> Control)" that creates a ViewHostControl with the main view and maybe some demo data. (or the actual data)
- Do it as you said, but now you can just switch the loaded external binaries. Not the whole app
Ye maybe it’ll end up this way right now im exploring another option where you make view a mutable property which the program can replace
Maybe we could derive from Popup and make it possible to specify the name of the target
or check if it would be possible to have an attached popup property where the target is se automatically
that thing is not made to be extensible
Ill try to get it working in some poc fashion then i’d like to discuss how to integrate it i guess
btw. let me know if you need help with something while your working on the PoC
well you can watch my progress here: https://github.com/uxsoft/Avalonia.FuncUI/tree/feature/livereload
i have the two assemblies loaded, am currently struggling with getting the loaded one to the existing app
casting throws an error
I've done bindings for Shapes. Hope I will get all bindings done until next week.
moved 'FuncUI' to a Organisation.
