Mount JSX server side templating for blog posts. Send AppShell conditionally. Maintain support for HMR via HTMLbundles using Bun's native fullstack dev server under an /hmr path. This is only mounted in development and is supported by the onImport Bun plugin. Add DB creation on startup and load pages based on those records.

# Modern Development Workflow
|
|
|
|
In today's fast-paced development environment, having an efficient workflow is crucial for maintaining productivity and code quality.
|
|
|
|
## Hot Module Replacement
|
|
|
|
Hot Module Replacement (HMR) revolutionizes the development experience:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Vite configuration with HMR
|
|
export default {
|
|
server: {
|
|
hmr: {
|
|
overlay: true
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
plugins: [
|
|
reactRefresh()
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// During development, changes appear instantly
|
|
const Component = () => {
|
|
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
|
|
return (
|
|
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
|
|
Count: {count}
|
|
</button>
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tool Chain Essentials
|
|
|
|
A modern tool chain should include:
|
|
|
|
- **Fast builds**: Vite or Bun for lightning-fast compilation
|
|
- **Type safety**: TypeScript for catching errors at compile time
|
|
- **Code formatting**: Prettier for consistent code style
|
|
- **Linting**: ESLint for maintaining code quality
|
|
|
|
## Automated Testing
|
|
|
|
Integrate testing into your workflow:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Component testing with React Testing Library
|
|
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
|
|
import Counter from './Counter';
|
|
|
|
test('increment works correctly', () => {
|
|
render(<Counter />);
|
|
|
|
const button = screen.getByRole('button');
|
|
fireEvent.click(button);
|
|
|
|
expect(screen.getByText('Count: 1')).toBeInTheDocument();
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- **Git hooks**: Pre-commit hooks for code quality checks
|
|
- **CI/CD**: Automated testing and deployment
|
|
- **Documentation**: Keep README files up to date
|
|
- **Code reviews**: Peer reviews for knowledge sharing
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
A modern development workflow combines the right tools with good practices. Invest time in setting up your environment properly, and it will pay dividends in productivity throughout your project.
