HMR will full reload in snowpack-vue

[xkelvinx666]

When i use snowpack-react-typescript, it only reload my change

watch the checkbox, the checkbox still checked

But i use snowpack-vue, it reload the other dom

the checkobx is reloaded

I also test the HMR in vitejs, it work well,just like snowpack-react-typescript

I think the document indicates that in a very subtle way by saying: Vue (HMR only), implying Fast refresh is not supported for Vue (only full reloads).

That's a huge drawback and I don't see why I'd want to develop a Vue app with Snowpack instead of, say, Vite.

Could you reuse Vite Vue plugin HMR logic?

With its approach to build, I think Snowpack has an interesting edge for large apps but HMR is key to dev.

I am looking into Snowpack vs Vite and I too was curious about the "Vue (HMR only)" info present in the Snowpack doc, especially after reading the comments from Evan You here where he mentions Snowpack "blowing away component state".
Digging further though, I found this Snowpack tutorial that states that "Snowpack is one of the only Vue dev environments to support Fast Refresh by default", before going on about how that helps preserving state between updates.
I'll probably just end up testing both Snowpack and Vite myself, but I'm interested to hear others' experiences.
