What this skill does


# Hot Reload Optimizer

Optimize development experience with fast hot module replacement.

## Core Workflow

1. **Analyze bottlenecks**: Identify slow rebuilds
2. **Configure HMR**: Framework-specific setup
3. **Optimize bundler**: Exclude heavy dependencies
4. **Setup caching**: Persistent caching
5. **Monitor performance**: Dev server metrics
6. **Fine-tune**: Incremental improvements

## Vite Configuration

```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import tsconfigPaths from 'vite-tsconfig-paths';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react({
      // Use SWC for faster transforms
      jsxRuntime: 'automatic',
      // Fast Refresh options
      fastRefresh: true,
    }),
    tsconfigPaths(),
  ],

  // Optimize dependencies
  optimizeDeps: {
    // Pre-bundle these dependencies
    include: [
      'react',
      'react-dom',
      'react-router-dom',
      '@tanstack/react-query',
      'zustand',
      'lodash-es',
    ],
    // Exclude from pre-bundling
    exclude: ['@vite/client'],
    // Force re-optimization
    force: false,
    // Increase timeout for slow deps
    entries: ['./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
  },

  // Server configuration
  server: {
    port: 3000,
    // Enable HMR
    hmr: {
      overlay: true,
      protocol: 'ws',
      host: 'localhost',
    },
    // Watch options
    watch: {
      // Use polling in containers/VMs
      usePolling: false,
      // Ignore patterns
      ignored: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**'],
    },
    // Faster startup
    warmup: {
      clientFiles: ['./src/main.tsx', './src/App.tsx'],
    },
  },

  // Build optimizations for dev
  build: {
    // Source maps for development
    sourcemap: true,
    // Chunk size warnings
    chunkSizeWarningLimit: 1000,
  },

  // Resolve configuration
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': '/src',
    },
  },

  // CSS configuration
  css: {
    devSourcemap: true,
    modules: {
      localsConvention: 'camelCase',
    },
  },

  // Define environment variables
  define: {
    __DEV__: JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'),
  },
});
```

### Vite with SWC

```typescript
// vite.config.ts with SWC
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react({
      // SWC options
      jsxImportSource: '@emotion/react',
      plugins: [
        // SWC plugins
        ['@swc/plugin-emotion', {}],
      ],
    }),
  ],
});
```

## Next.js Configuration

```javascript
// next.config.js
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  // Enable SWC compiler
  swcMinify: true,

  // Experimental features for faster dev
  experimental: {
    // Turbopack (when stable)
    // turbo: {},

    // Optimize package imports
    optimizePackageImports: [
      '@heroicons/react',
      'lucide-react',
      'date-fns',
      'lodash',
    ],
  },

  // Webpack customization
  webpack: (config, { dev, isServer }) => {
    if (dev) {
      // Faster source maps in development
      config.devtool = 'eval-source-map';

      // Ignore large modules in watch
      config.watchOptions = {
        ignored: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/.git/**'],
        aggregateTimeout: 200,
        poll: false,
      };

      // Cache configuration
      config.cache = {
        type: 'filesystem',
        buildDependencies: {
          config: [__filename],
        },
      };
    }

    return config;
  },

  // Disable type checking during dev (use IDE)
  typescript: {
    ignoreBuildErrors: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
  },

  // Disable linting during dev (use IDE)
  eslint: {
    ignoreDuringBuilds: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
  },

  // Image optimization
  images: {
    domains: ['example.com'],
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200],
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
```

### Next.js Turbopack

```javascript
// next.config.js with Turbopack
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    turbo: {
      rules: {
        '*.svg': {
          loaders: ['@svgr/webpack'],
          as: '*.js',
        },
      },
      resolveAlias: {
        '@': './src',
      },
    },
  },
};

module.exports = nextConfig;
```

```bash
# Run with Turbopack
next dev --turbo
```

## Webpack Configuration

```javascript
// webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const ReactRefreshPlugin = require('@pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin');
const ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin = require('fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = (env, argv) => {
  const isDev = argv.mode === 'development';

  return {
    mode: isDev ? 'development' : 'production',

    // Fast rebuild source maps
    devtool: isDev ? 'eval-cheap-module-source-map' : 'source-map',

      filename: isDev ? '[name].js' : '[name].[contenthash].js',
      clean: true,
    },

    // Caching for faster rebuilds
    cache: isDev ? {
      type: 'filesystem',
      cacheDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '.cache'),
      buildDependencies: {
        config: [__filename],
      },
    } : false,

                    runtime: 'automatic',
                    development: isDev,
                    refresh: isDev,
                  },
                },
              },
            },
          },
        },
        {

            semantic: true,
            syntactic: true,
          },
        },
      }),

      // HMR
      isDev && new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    ].filter(Boolean),

    // Dev server configuration
    devServer: {
      port: 3000,
      hot: true,
      liveReload: false, // Use HMR instead
      client: {
        overlay: {
          errors: true,
          warnings: false,
        },
        progress: true,
      },
      static: {

```

## React Fast Refresh Boundaries

```typescript
// src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx
import { Component, type ErrorInfo, type ReactNode } from 'react';

interface Props {
  children: ReactNode;
  fallback?: ReactNode;
}

interface State {
  hasError: boolean;
}

export class ErrorBoundary extends Component<Props, State> {
  state: State = { has
