Hot reload not working with React

If you are working with stylesheets, you might find my new package useful

I was having the same issue. It seems like launching the plugin from Resources > Plugin works better than from the right panel relaunch button.

Did you find a solution for this?

Hi, I don’t mean to highjack this thread but I’m the author of a library that makes developing Figma plugins easier. One of the main features is it uses a local development server instead of re-building the file with each file change. I think this will solve your issue as it doesn’t rely on Figma to reload the plugin. One caveat is that when you publish your plugin, you must create a build before doing so. But it’s a small price to pay for a better developer experience.

You can check it out at plugma.dev.

Let me know if you have any feedback.

Cool shit! This really solved my urgent problem. I spent most of the day just implementing “building Figma plugins with vitejs” and then encountered the hot reload issue. Just when I was about to give up, I saw your post. Plugma really perfectly solved my problem.

This is great to hear. I’m so glad it helped you.
