Do you mean to auto reload the main process? Coz I believe the renderer process is already reloadable if you use the command npm run dev to start Webpack in development mode. You just need to refresh the page in your electron app whenever you've changed something for the renderer process once the app is started.

Hi! That would be nice if the refresh is done automatically, or if is possible on npm run dev be on some special url where the hot reaload will works, webpack providing a devServer for this purposes https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/

but good job anyway!

Okay I got what you mean now. Right now the dev server is not being invoked on neither the commands included in this project. I'm not sure if the dev server works with electron apps or not but I'll give it a try later when I have time. Meanwhile you may wanna implement that yourself, as I'm pretty busy recently and not sure when I'll be able to do more development on this boilerplate, so a pull request is very much welcome.

My initial thoughts on it would be to change the dev server options in webpack.config.js, then edit the npm run dev command in package.json to invoke the dev server by calling npx webpack serve. You may give it a try.
