Serve Applications with Auto-Reload

Enable automatic reloading of your application when YAML files change during development using the --reload flag.

CLI Command

qtype serve --reload my_app.qtype.yaml

Explanation

• --reload: Watches YAML files for changes and automatically restarts the server
• Development workflow: Edit your YAML file, save, and immediately see changes without manual restart
• Port option: Combine with -p/--port to specify server port (default: 8000)

Example with Port

qtype serve --reload -p 8080 examples/tutorials/01_hello_world.qtype.yaml
