Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Currently running the server, admin dashboard and the frontend part using docker itself which is an efficient i agree. But whenever we make changes in the hoppscotch-common dir we are required to rebuild the complete process using docker which is a time consuming process.

So i was expecting if there's an alternative way to run frontend app using any package manager. I tried to run pnpm dev on hoppscotch-common dir yet it returns with some errors.

Steps to reproduce

cd hoppscotch root dir
run sudo docker-compose build
run sudo docker-compose up (which will bring up server and ui)
make changes for the frontend part in hoppscotch-common dir
rebuild whole using docker

Environment

Production

Version

Local

@CodeWizarz you can run the instance directly through hoppscotch-selfhost-web package as it uses hoppscotch-common to run the remainder of things.

But do note this is a behaviour only kept for development uses.
