@cordisjs/plugin-hmr

Hot module replacement for loader-managed Cordis plugins.

The HMR plugin watches source files, traces Node's module graph, clears affected module caches, and reloads only the plugin entries that depend on changed application files. Changes to framework-level dependencies fall back to loader.exit(), letting the host process restart.

Module watches canonicalize their existing base directory before opening Chokidar. Exact config watches likewise canonicalize the deepest existing ancestor, then restore any missing suffix. Callbacks and diagnostics retain the requested absolute filename, while the native backend receives one filesystem spelling even when Windows supplied an 8.3 alias.

Requirements

• @cordisjs/plugin-loader
• @cordisjs/plugin-timer
• A runtime that exposes Node's internal module loader. The package throws if the loader service has no internal module loader available.
