Readme
An add-on to pass /@@reload
to the backend.
Overview
The Plone addon plone.reload provides a code reloader for your Plone backend.
Unfortunately this currently does not work through a Volto frontend as the route is unknown and the request doesn't get to the backend. Instead you must run it from a different window or tab directly on the backend.
This addon aims to resolve this problem by:
- Creating an express middleware layer to forward requests to
/@@reload
to the backend. - Changes the
apiPath
to remove the Plone site (@@reload
must be run from the zope root). - Adds VirtualHost parameters to the url to ensure the reload actions go through volto.
- Authenticates the call with either admin:admin or admin:secret, the default credentials for plone dev instances.
Installation
Add the addon to your projects package.json
:
"addons": [
"plone-volto-reloader"
],
"dependencies": {
"plone-volto-reloader": "*"
}
Install the add-on and restart Volto:
yarn
yarn start
Then the reload middleware will be accesible via http://localhost:3000/@@reload
