I've been trying to create an admin panel for Laravel (I know, there is a Laravel Nova now for 99$ for a single site) and all I've been doing is trying to build all of this functionality on top of laravel/laravel package.
What I've seen with Nova, is that it is a separate package, which is seamlessly integrates with Laravel by simply dragging and dropping the folder with Nova to the root directory of the Laravel application.
Even though, I have an idea (and a little bit of experience) on how to replicate (and maybe even enhance Nova functionality), I've no idea on how to make HMR working with the package.
Let's say my package name is Niva (just an example), with the folder named niva placed inside the Laravel folder. The webpack.mix.js is the same as in the Laravel Horizon package.
So far, I've no problems with accessing routes defined in the package, I'm able to load views from the package by accessing specified route, even authentication works just fine. However, I have to manually compile the package first, then publish the assets, and only then I can view the changes I've made to the source code.
Example package base routes:
- Web: _http://localhost/niva (Only need for HMR to be present here)
- Api: _http://localhost/api/niva
Example package base directories and files:
Root: /var/www/localhost/niva
Public: /var/www/localhost/niva/public
Resources: /var/www/localhost/niva/resources
Webpack: /var/www/localhost/niva/webpack.mix.js
What I'm asking about is: is it possible to enable HMR for the package, and how it should be done?
P.S. I've been thinking of symlinking the public directory from the package to the public vendor/niva folder, but still no result (I'm pretty sure I'm missing something here).
