Aspire.Hosting.JavaScript WithLifetime

[stefannikolei]

The Frontend which is integrated with Aspire.Hosting.JavaScript needs a long time to build. It runs in watch mode.
I am looking for a way to make our inner loop way faster. First thing i thought of was to let the Frontend run and do not exit it after each run, in the same way as our database.

IResourceBuilder<SqlServerServerResource> sqlServer = builder
    .AddSqlServer("SqlServer", password)
    .WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)

Is there a way how this can be achieved with an JavaScript app?

No, this doesn't work for anything except for containers yet. This isn't javascript related, the feature needs to be implemented for resources that aren't containers.

You can make your inner loop faster but not tearing down your apphost when you change things. Assuming you are not changing your apphost often, you can rebuild projects or restart them either via the IDE (vs or vs code) or by using dotnet watch on the command line (there are some issues here).
