React Hot Loader 2 Umbrella

[gaearon]

• Use React Proxy as new internal engine
• Support hot-reloading getters, statics (via React Proxy)
• Remove dependency on react/lib/ReactMount
• Recover from module definition level errors
• Recover from file not found errors
• Show syntax errors in an overlay (maybe even switch to webpack-hot-middleware by @glenjamin)
• Recommend using babel-plugin-wrap-react-components for a better experience:
  • Hot-reload non-exported classes
  • Hot-reload classes that are wrapped in HOCs
  • Take another look at hot reloading ES7 properties
  • Make it easy to handle render() errors (Catch errors inside render #164)
• Keep the old export rewriting for CoffeeScript and other compile-to-JS users?
• Make sure stuff like Omniscient still works

It seeks like perhaps these

Show syntax errors in an overlay (maybe even switch to webpack-hot-middleware by @glenjamin)
Recover from module definition level errors
Recover from file not found errors

Should be out of scope for RHL, as they're not react specific? Maybe just include suggested approaches in docs?

Afaik, hot-middleware handles all 3 cases currently.

Depending on a shared module that handles syntax errors/ENOENT sounds like the right approach to me. 👍

Yes, that's what I meant. I mean not just the code, but also the boilerplate, Getting Started guide, etc.

Though as you probably saw,

Recover from module definition level errors

and

Recover from file not found errors

(when NoErrorsPlugin isn't enabled)

were actually broken until #187 so that counts.

Meh, this is very old.
