Acceptance

  • find out how hot-reload for MD files is implemented in contentlayer

Notes

Summary

  • when contentlayer is run in development mode:
    • contentlayer config file is read and esbuild watch mode is used to watch for any changes to it
    • then, config values read from the file are used to generate the output .contentlayer/generated folder, but also, along the way, the content folder starts being watched for any changes using Chokidar

@olayway any recommendation on whether we could reuse this in flowershow - note here i think this would be less a "built-in" and more a "howto" to start with.
