Configurable extensions to watch about lein-figwheel HOT 4 CLOSED

Wouldn't there have to be a client side hook that compiles the gss when it loads? Different resources need different handling on the client side. Unfortunately this in not the goal of figwheel right now.

If you compiled your gss and targeted the output to a css directory then that would work.

Autoloading and compiling gss in the browser is an interesting problem on its own.

I think compiling is, yes, client-side problem. But autoloading is figwheel's. Allow to watch files with any given extension and simply clone its tag with cache busting suffix (as it is done for js & css) — and client will do the job in reload callback. M.b. it is useful to pass in callback what files has been changed.

But I don't insist, because those things complicate process a little bit and may not fit figwheel's goal. Especially taking in account that I rejected gss recently ;-)

I have a similar use case. Using Middleman, I have *.scss files in my stylesheets directory which are transparently build into an application.css that my dev server loads independently from Figwheel. What I would like it to do is reload application.css whenever any of the scss files in that directory change.

Since it's using Sprockets, there's a Rack middleware that's handling the CSS compilation on each request and there are not actual CSS files created on disk in development mode.

Any easy way to do that? Thanks!

CSS reloading is not going to be a focus for Figwheel. It's a convenience, as Figwheel is not trying to flesh out a full live reload environment.

Figwheel is really meant to provide a live coding experience for cljs. I would have to generalize the project into a guard-like framework to provide for any and all file watching and reloading problems. This is not something I'm planning on doing right now.

If however you target compiled CSS to the directory that Figwheel is watching it will gladly reload it for you.
