Overview

The hot reloading allows developers to automatically restart the server whenever a file change is detected. This feature is particularly useful during development as it ensures that the latest changes are always reflected without the need to manually restart the server.

Prerequisites

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Composer
• Node.js and npm

Usage

To start the server with hot reloading, you can use the Composer command:

composer run dev

This command will execute the php server script and start watching for file changes.

Running the Server Manually

Alternatively, you can manually start the server and the watcher:

php server
