Hot Reload is a Rust-based utility designed specifically for Flutter development. It enables seamless code reloading by monitoring your Flutter project's source files for changes and automatically triggering a hot reload, significantly improving the development workflow by reducing downtime and manual restarts.

This tool works by sending the r character to the Flutter console process whenever it detects changes to .dart files, which is the standard way to trigger a hot reload in Flutter.

Note: This tool is only intended for use with Flutter projects.

• Automatic file watching: Detects changes in your source code.
• Fast recompilation: Only rebuilds what has changed.
• Seamless reload: Restarts your application with minimal delay.
• Configurable: Easily customize which files and directories to watch.

• Rust (edition 2021 or later)
• Cargo (comes with Rust)

You can install Hot Reload directly using Cargo:

cargo install --path .

To start hot reloading your Rust project:

cargo run -- <your-app-args>

By default, Hot Reload will watch your Flutter project directory for changes to .dart files and trigger a hot reload automatically.

You can customize behavior using command-line arguments:

• --path <dir>: Path to the Flutter project (default: current directory)
• -b, --debounce-ms <ms>: Debounce delay in milliseconds (default: 500)
• Any extra arguments after -- are passed directly to flutter run.
