Umm what's the difference between hot module reloading and just reloading ( like the reloading example that was there in d.js guide )??

[unborn forge]

where does the dj guide say that?

[hasty comet]

Hot module reloading is automatic (it will reload whenever you save the file)

I think djs mentions it as a command, which just means you'd have to run a command every time

[unborn forge]

It was there earlier but they probably removed it

[unborn forge]

Oh, instead of hot module reloading, can't we just import the command/event file while executing it rather than setting it in a discordjs collection and retrieving it?

[hasty comet]

That might be possible 🤷‍♂️

I think you would need to clear the require cache every time then.
It wouldnt be so good for performance, the cache is there for a reason, but maybe fine for development.

Also if you want to reload things that aren't commands, you can also delete require cache for it.

mind me asking where I find resources about how to use it with esm?

[unborn forge]

the plugin is compatible with esm
