Using reflex for Live Reloading

During development, it’s useful to have your server automatically restart when you make changes to your code. For this, we can use the reflex package, which watches for file changes and restarts your Go application automatically, similar to nodemon in Node.js.

Installing reflex

First, install reflex:

go install github.com/cespare/reflex@latest

Configuring reflex

You can use reflex directly from the command line or set up a configuration file.

Using reflex from the command line:

reflex -r '\.go$' -s -- sh -c "go run main.go"

This command tells reflex to watch all .go files and restart the application whenever a change is detected.

Using reflex with a configuration file:

# Reflex config
-r '\.go$' -s -- sh -c "go run main.go"
