Live reload (HMR)

Trilium uses Vite's HMR (hot module reloading) mechanism.

Server live reload#

If running the server using pnpm server:start, the server will watch for changes. For React components, they will be hot-reloaded without requiring a refresh. For other services, it will reload the page.

Desktop live reload#

pnpm desktop:start acts the same as pnpm server:start with hot-reloading for client-side changes. Changes on the desktop side require a complete re-run of the pnpm desktop:start command.
