How the js and css build command execute when the container is running?

[cris-m]

1. I notice that if watch option istrue inside esbuild.config.js file, the assets container will hang during build.
2. Regarding the yarn:build:css and yarn:build:s command. They won't execute because the js and cs container will all be terminate after building.

How to achieve watch on js and css container in development?

Hi,

The project is already set up to watch in development. The esbuild watch option keeps the container running and watches files for changes, then it immediately rebuilds the new JS on change. Tailwind works the same with the --watch flag for CSS.

You just need to run the app in development mode which it does by default in the .env file with:

export FLASK_DEBUG=true
export NODE_ENV=development
