I'm working with Total.js Flow. I would like to know if is possible to refresh my flow if I edit designer.json without rebooting my node server.

This is currently not possible. But I'll add something like FLOW.reload() might this week :-). But you will need to add some scheduler or watcher for watching of designer.json file because FLOW.reload() will perform only reloading of Flow.

UPDATE: new version of Total.js Flow v6 supports hot reloading of designer.json file. It can be reloaded by executing FLOW.reload() method for example in code component or directly in application.

  • Hello, first of all thank you for answering :), I just have another question, I would like to know where the insertion of the json on `designer.json` is made? Thank you :) – Maxence.sailly Feb 19 '19 at 14:13
  • Here is the code: https://github.com/totaljs/flow/blob/master/source/index.js#L1642 – Peter Sirka Feb 19 '19 at 20:37
  • Sorry for delay, I forgot to anwser. Now Flow supports `FLOW.reload()` for hot reloading of `designer.json`. So you can test it here: https://github.com/totaljs/flow (it's beta version with great new features). – Peter Sirka Mar 06 '19 at 09:52
  • Hi Peter, sorry i'm late too, i would like to know i have to implement a watcher ? or Flow.reload() i'll detect the changes alone ? thx – Maxence.sailly Apr 04 '19 at 07:08
  • Hi, yes Flow emits `ON('flow.reload', function() {})` event. You can catch it. – Peter Sirka Apr 04 '19 at 08:41
