Hello! I want to use velite for my website to support markdown, but when I build my project it doesn't listen for files in the specified directory, so it doesn't update them dynamically. I want dynamic update of the markdown files (they should be available immediately). And
npm run dev shows many error and development-specific information that's totally unacceptable fro production use. Is there any way to run it dynamically without npm run dev?31 Replies

@Brown bear Hello! I want to use velite for my website to support markdown, but when I build my project it doesn't listen for files in the specified directory, so it doesn't update them dynamically.

this is a xy issue because, https://xyproblem.info/, and y is not a good solution
You are not supposed to use dev in production at any costs, it isn't optimized at all
Brown bearOP
Yes
And I'm looking whether there's a way to start it dynamically
Like I don't want velite compiling my code

I want to add markdown dynamically, which works only in dev

I've read it
Wait, you want to update it dynamically when the file changes?
In some directory I want to add, update, delete
You have to rebuild the app then, or use a CMS otherwise

And I want this changes to be reflected immediately
use a CMS

Hmm...
like sanity, payload

I dunno
I can build one myself maybe
The problem is dynamic compilation of markdown into html
Velite does this out of the box in dev
I can make some API which will do it
But this means that I also need to write conversion logic myself

Also in velite I use custom styles for MDX
So I can directly write html/css/js inside markdown
Also this custom styles helped me with browser-related inconsistencies
And on top of it I use velite to detect markdown pages and make a preview of them
So moving it to CMS and also ditching velite will be painful
So you can't dynamically update it unless you rebuild the app

And that's a problem
@Brown bear And that's a problem
For this type of usecase, I built a custom CMS with tiptap editor(Its a rich text, but you might find some markdown editors too.
