Pass hostname/port

[juho]

Would be cool if the hostname/port could be configured per project somehow. We have a few apps that run at the same time on different ports.

Yeah we're actually in a similar situation, we run our app on qualia:80. One solution is to create .revalrc that contains host:port info and when a file is modified, the plugin walks up the source tree from the file being reval'ed until it finds a .revalrc and then sends the info there.

And if it doesn't find a .revalrc it could just default to localhost:3000 as usual

@juho The sublime plugin includes a full set of config params

@jlukic But you still wouldn't be able to work on multiple meteor projects at the same time with editor-wide configs

Yeah, a .revalrc seems like a good cross-IDE solution. I was thinking of including it in the project settings for Sublime but that would just work for Sublime then..

Haven't updated the repo yet but here's my Spacemacs implementation of using .revalrc:

(defun qlm--base-path (start-path)
  (require 'f)
  (f-traverse-upwards (lambda (path) (f-exists? (f-expand ".meteor" path))) start-path)
)

(defun qlm--base-url (base-path)
  (require 'f)
  (let ((revalrc (f-join base-path ".revalrc")))
    (if (f-exists? revalrc) (f-read-text revalrc) "localhost:3000")
  )
)

(defun qlm--url (path)
  (require 'f)
  (let ((base-path (qlm--base-path path)))
    (if base-path
        (concat "http://" (qlm--base-url base-path) "/reval/reload?filePath=" (f-relative path base-path))
        (concat "http://localhost:3000/reval/reload?filePath=" path)
    )
  )
)

(defun qlm--reload ()
  (require 'request)
  (interactive)
  (request
    (qlm--url (buffer-file-name))
    :type "POST"
    :data (buffer-string)
  )
)

I've been using this the .revalrc way, and it's been working very well. Unfortunately, this needs to be implemented on an editor plugin by editor plugin basis.
