Command Line Arguments

The server.py supports the following command line arguments:

Argument	Description
--port	Sets the HTTP server port. Defaults to 8000.
--hot-reloading, or, -r	Enables hot reloading.
--hot-reloading-port	Sets a specific port for the hot reloading web socket port. The default is the --port, plus one.
--help	Shows the command line help.

Hot Reloading

The development server also supports hot reloading, on the following resources:

• Top level page CSS stylesheets, typically found in kondo/styles/*.css,
• Per-page styles added by @style,
• The rendered .ucc or .md file, and,
• Plugins and data loaded via context.get_data(path) by a plugin.

To enable it, run server.py with the option --hot-reloading, or, the short option, -r. Then, when any of the above files are changed, the browser will update the styles or page content without a reload.

Hot reloading is not yet implemented for:

• Adding, removing or changing @style or @component directives, and,
• Component files.
• The main template.html template.
• Images.

However, a simple manual page refresh on page will cause a reload on the above.

This feature is relatively new, please report any issues (or to requests support for hot reloading some other type of files) in #ucc-website-dev in Discord.
