Hot Reload

Hot Module Replacement

Definition

Hot reload (HMR) updates changed modules in a running application without a full page refresh, preserving application state and reducing the edit-save-test cycle to milliseconds. Vite and webpack implement HMR for web development; React Fast Refresh extends it to preserve component state during updates.

Fast hot reload is one of the highest-leverage improvements to developer experience in modern build tooling.
