How does JIT/Hot-Reload work?

Liquid creates a queue of tasks to complete. Once the tasks are finalized, Liquid does all the tasks in the JITInstance.taskList until there are none left. Then it passes the Routes class back to @liquidmd/cli where it is hosted.

How are pages tracked?

Each page in the pages/ directory is assigned specific tags at startup:

interface PageTag {
  name: string, // name of the page
  path: TSPath.Path, // the path to the page
  components: Array<ComponentTag>, // array of components used in the page
  templates: Array<TemplateTag>, // array of templates used in the page,
  html: HTMLObject // most recently compiled html
};

So when any component or template is changed, the page is re-rendered. Otherwise, we use the already rendered HTML and pass that to the Router.
