Hot reloading in Go applications
Modd is a library that makes hot reloading possible in Go applications. To use it, install it on your machine using the command below:
- Implement auto-reload after update

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
There's also modd[0] which allows for many file watch pattern -> command combos to easily be defined & run simultaneously from a modd.conf file.

Hot reload in golang
i was using cortesi/modd for this while using docker. Since I change to Rancher with dockerd i wasn’t able to get live reloading working again, i also tried air but no luck.. out of curiosity did anyone have a similar issue?

Live Reload in Go with Air
Interesting. I've been using https://github.com/cortesi/modd for this for a while but I'll check this project out.

We don’t use a staging environment
I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for real data. Of course, there are some things that need to be mocked, like automated backups, but so fare it turns out to work really well.
You can find more on our blog [2] if you would like to know more.

Fzf – a command-line fuzzy finder
entr is written in C, watchexec is written in Rust.
There's another one that I've used that is written in go: https://github.com/cespare/reflex
I am inclined to use watchexec next time I need one.

How do you live reload html pages in development?
rerun your go program when you change a file https://github.com/cespare/reflex

Testing flow for Go in VS Code?
There are tools like https://github.com/cespare/reflex that run a command when specific files are changing. You could use it to run go test whenever one of your files changes, so the changes would be reflected instantly in the terminal.

Dockerize your Go app
We'll be using Reflex as part of our development workflow. If you're not familiar, Refelx provides live reload when developing.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing modd and reflex you can also consider the following projects:
air - ☁️ Live reload for Go apps
golang-docker-cache - Improved docker Golang module dependency cache for faster builds.
Go for Visual Studio Code
entr - Run arbitrary commands when files change
overmind - Process manager for Procfile-based applications and tmux
Yampa - Functional Reactive Programming domain-specific language for efficient hybrid systems
gin - Live reload utility for Go web servers
go-md2man
gow - Missing watch mode for Go commands. Watch Go files and execute a command like "go run" or "go test"
