Changing state does hot reload

[gkiely]

Node: 5.3.0
presets: ["react", "es2015", "stage-0"],

class App extends Component {
  state = {msg: "myMsg"}

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>{this.state.msg}</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Changing myMsg does not hotreload, mapping it to a variable outside the class does.

It can't hot reload changes to the initial state. Don't forget this property assignment is equivalent to setting the field inside the constructor. Even if you change the constructor, the field has already been set. Constructor doesn't run twice. So this is not supported.

Ahhh I thought this might be the case, out of curiosity would it be possible to unmount and remount the component to get this to work? I don't know enough about react yet to know whether or not this is possible.

Maybe. You can track gaearon/react-proxy#15 for that.
