I didn't manage to include fast refresh keeping state through updates inside React yet.

@diego3g Did you try electron-reload this will hot reload window on folder content changed
eg:

if (isDev) {
  require("electron-reload")(path.join(__dirname, "public"), {
    electron: require(`${__dirname}/node_modules/electron`),
  });
}

Hey @Abdallah-Moh, we already have live reload. I want do add React Fast Refresh that keep react state between file changes.

@diego3g you will need to disable the live reload and update the DOM instead

Just got this working. Requires "@electron-forge/plugin-webpack": "6.0.0-beta.60", because of electron/forge#2444. Then you can add something similar to this to package.json:

          "@electron-forge/plugin-webpack",
          {
            "devServer": {
              "liveReload": false,
              "hot": true
            },

And from there follow the normal installation instructions according to react-refresh-webpack-plugin.

Note that you have to manually list HotModuleReplacementPlugin in your plugins, or else it won't be detected.
