Dev server requires a lot of restarts

[FichteFoll]

When working on the initial config.js, I had to restart the local dev server a lot because vuepress couldn't handle the config changes it appeared. I don.t think there is an immediate solution to that, but I wanted to track it as an issue for myself at least.

The vuepress devs have been working on vite and vitepress for a while, which is probably worth monitoring, as it follows the same principles but promises to work on exactly these pain points of vue.

I'll throw in another option to the mix: https://content.nuxtjs.org/

(I'm quite close to the Nuxt ecosystem so maybe I'm biased).

There's also work being done on vuepress v2.

• https://github.com/vuejs/vuepress
  • built on vue2
• https://github.com/vuepress/vuepress-next
  • built on vue3
  • refactored with TypeScript
• https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress
  • built on https://github.com/vitejs/vite

This seems not to be an issue in Vitepress.

Indeed, vitepress can figure out by itself when it needs a restart and … just does that in less than a second. Very nice experience.
