An extension for ComfyUI that allows hot reloading. Once installed, you can preview changes in real-time while developing custom nodes or installing plugins without restarting ComfyUI.

Main Features

🔄 Real-time hot reloading: Automatically reload nodes after modifying code
🎯 Intelligent monitoring: Only monitor specified file types and directories
🚀 Instant updates: Frontend interface automatically refreshes to display the latest changes
🛡️ Debounce design: Avoid performance issues caused by frequent reloads
📁 Support for web files: Automatically sync the web directory content of nodes
🔍 Route hot reloading: Support real-time updates for API routes

Usage

Clone the repository to the custom_nodes directory of ComfyUI:

cd path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/LAOGOU-666/ComfyUI-LG_HotReload.git

Install dependencies:

cd ComfyUI-LG_HotReload
pip install -r requirements.txt

Start ComfyUI
Begin editing your custom nodes. After saving, it will automatically reload; you just need to reset the nodes or refresh the webpage (this is just a plugin, there are no physical nodes, once installed you don't need to worry about it, the backend handles it automatically).

Notes

It is recommended to use in a development environment; please be cautious in production environments.
Some complex changes may still require restarting ComfyUI.
Ensure your code has no syntax errors, as this may affect the reloading process.

If you benefit from this project, consider buying the author a cup of coffee. Your support is my greatest motivation.
