Using Live Reload

To enable live reload, all we need to do is start WatchResourceDir from the Viewer. For example, open the Hello World app, then modify main.go file into like this :

package main

import (
	"log"
	"os"
	fp "path/filepath"

	"github.com/go-qamel/qamel"
)

func main() {
	// Create application
	app := qamel.NewApplication(len(os.Args), os.Args)
	app.SetApplicationDisplayName("Live Reload Example")

	// Create a QML viewer
	// Here we change the source URL into relative path
	view := qamel.NewViewerWithSource("res/main.qml")
	view.SetResizeMode(qamel.SizeRootObjectToView)
	view.SetHeight(300)
	view.SetWidth(400)
	view.Show()

	// Watch change in resource dir
	projectDir, err := os.Getwd()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Failed to get working directory:", err)
	}

	resDir := fp.Join(projectDir, "res")
	go view.WatchResourceDir(resDir)

	// Exec app
	app.Exec()
}

Now build the app, and change the res/main.qml file on runtime. Live reload should be works now :
