Description

Currently when running the development server only the documentation files are watched and have their changes applied with hot reloading.

Having changes applied live for the source components would greatly ease development.

The react component groups team came up with a solution to this problem in this commit: https://github.com/patternfly/react-component-groups/pull/13/commits/598d19b0d4fe9d02e0da34623cd9a6ba38dbb824.

Research direction

Start by locating the development server's file-watching and hot-reloading entry points, then compare the approach in the linked react-component-groups commit. Done means changes to source component files, not only documentation files, are detected and applied live while running the development server.
