Trigger HMR Only for the effected Content Script

[SkySor44]

I have several content scripts that each trigger on different domains. If I change the entry file of one, the HMR rebuilds all the content scripts even though they don't share the code in the entry file I updated.

Is there a way to configure plugin so that it only does HMR for the effected content script?

Retriggering HMR for all my content scripts makes development very slow

Try out WXT instead, it is the spiritual successor to this plugin (that I also wrote), and supports individual content script reloads.

I haven't officially stopped maintaining this project yet because WXT v1.0 isn't out yet, but after it is, this plugin will go into maintenance mode. So this feature will probably never be added to this plugin.
