XO Dev Setup

[jedimarcus]

Not the big JS developer here, but I wanted to contribute.

My dev setup is working as far as I can run yarn start in the packages/xo-server directory.
This puts Xen Orchestra running and working on port 8088 as I configured.

Now for developing, I used to do something like "yarn dev" to have the project running in dev mode with hot reload and stuff like that, but running "yarn dev" gives me some output, but I see no server running on 8088 or any other port:

jedi@thefang:~/git/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server$ yarn dev
yarn run v1.22.21
$ cross-env NODE_ENV=development yarn run _build --watch
$ index-modules --index-file index.mjs src/api src/xapi/mixins src/xo-mixins && babel --delete-dir-on-start --keep-file-extension --source-maps --out-dir=dist/ src/ --watch
index generated src/xo-mixins/index.mjs
index generated src/api/index.mjs
index generated src/xapi/mixins/index.mjs
Successfully compiled 148 files with Babel (1035ms).
The watcher is ready.

Any tips?

@jedimarcus yarn dev start only the watcher(s)
you can start the server by using cd packages/xo-server and then yarn start

you can use nodemon instead of node if you want autoreload
