Getting Live Reload To Work In You Vite Ionic Project

I dont use Live reload that often, but this is a manual approach to get it going with the Vite project

First Start Your Server

aaronksaunders@Aarons-14MacBookProM1Pro my-react-app % npm run dev

> my-react-app@0.0.0 dev
> vite


  VITE v3.0.6  ready in 359 ms

  ➜  Local:   http://127.0.0.1:5173/
  ➜  Network: use --host to expose
12:57:47 AM [vite] hmr update /src/App.tsx

Then modify capacitor.config.ts using the address the server is running on from the command above

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
  appId: 'my.react.app',
  appName: 'my-react-app',
  webDir: 'dist',
  bundledWebRuntime: false,
  server : {
    "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:5173/"  //<= use address the server is running on locally
  }
};

And finally deploy your app to the device

aaronksaunders@Aarons-14MacBookProM1Pro my-react-app % npx cap run ios --external  --target=73CE91C9-4855-496B-9481-CA486652E9D7
✔ Copying web assets from dist to ios/App/App/public in 12.83ms
✔ Creating capacitor.config.json in ios/App/App in 1.35ms
✔ copy ios in 25.05ms
✔ Updating iOS plugins in 1.96ms
[info] Found 4 Capacitor plugins for ios:
       @capacitor/app@4.0.1
       @capacitor/haptics@4.0.1
       @capacitor/keyboard@4.0.1
       @capacitor/status-bar@4.0.1
✔ Updating iOS native dependencies with pod install in 2.53s
✔ update ios in 2.56s
✔ Running xcodebuild in 3.20s
✔ Deploying App.app to 73CE91C9-4855-496B-9481-CA486652E9D7 in 1.51s

Now your mobile app is pointing to the local server running and you basically have live-reload working. I am certain there is another approach, but like I said I don't use it often enough. Hopefully, this gets you moving

REMEMBER remove the edit to the capacitor.config.ts before deploying to production otherwise the app will be looking for the local server to run the app !!

Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode + Vetur. Make sure to enable vetur.experimental.templateInterpolationService in settings!

If Using `<script setup>`

<script setup> is a feature that is currently in RFC stage. To get proper IDE support for the syntax, use Volar instead of Vetur (and disable Vetur).

Type Support For `.vue` Imports in TS

Since TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports, they are shimmed to be a generic Vue component type by default. In most cases this is fine if you don't really care about component prop types outside of templates. However, if you wish to get actual prop types in .vue imports (for example to get props validation when using manual h(...) calls), you can use the following:

If Using Volar

Run Volar: Switch TS Plugin on/off from VSCode command palette.

If Using Vetur

Install and add @vuedx/typescript-plugin-vue to the plugins section in tsconfig.json
Delete src/shims-vue.d.ts as it is no longer needed to provide module info to Typescript
Open src/main.ts in VSCode
Open the VSCode command palette
Search and run "Select TypeScript version" -> "Use workspace version"
