Abstract

Hot reloading a running application with an unsaved source code change. A code change to a source code of a running software application that is associated with a project type is identified. The code change is stored within an in-memory editor buffer, and is uncommitted to any source code file. It is determined that the code change can be applied to the running software application using hot reload. Hot reload agent(s) associated with the project type are identified. Using the hot reload agent(s), the code change is communicated to an application runtime associated with the running software application. At least one process of the running software application invokes a new compiled code entity corresponding to the code change.
