Research direction

Start with the development-server setup that currently watches documentation files, then compare its file-watching behavior with the linked react-component-groups commit. The change is complete when edits to source component files are detected and applied through hot reloading while running the development server.

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.
