Can Webpack HMR be used for updating externally loaded files?

140 Views Asked by At

My app loads a few different files at runtime that are NOT compiled/known by webpack. Language files (.json), some external css styles (.css).

When my app runs on webpack-dev-server, i'd like it to receive updates for these files when they change - i'd write a small chunk of code to pass the new external language files to language manager (for example).

Is it possible to use Webpack HMR for this? If not, I guess I need to run two servers (webpack dev server, plus my custom HMR server?).

I've tried using import.meta.webpackHot to try to accept the change - webpack does notice the file has changed but HMR says "Nothing Changed" - presumably because Webpack doesn't think its relevant?

Any steer would be useful.

Thanks
