Live Reload

[WaywardWizard]

Thankyou for this nice tool.

Suggestion

Live update toggle for TUI

Usecase

When editing files in cuelang, jsonnet, dhall or similar that when evaluated emit JSON/YAML/, it is useful to see live updates.

Thanks for your suggestion. Maybe provide a new action with the "R" key binding to trigger config reload manually?

Your welcome - that will work OK. If its possible to watch the source json file for changes then i think this is will be preferable as this would allow someone to be editing the source (.{cue,jsonnet,dhall}), compile it to a JSON (i have an automated action on write), and see the change reflected in otree. All without leaving their text editor. For example i have a nvim window where i edit, and an otree window next to it. The live feedback without needing to switch to otree to send the R key would make for a better workflow in my case.

"entr" is an external tool that could do what i am suggesting;

$ ls myfile.json | entr otree /_
