# `mix plushie.gui`
[🔗](https://github.com/plushie-ui/plushie-elixir/blob/v0.6.0/lib/mix/tasks/plushie.gui.ex#L1)

Starts a Plushie GUI application.

## Usage

    mix plushie.gui MyApp
    mix plushie.gui MyApp --build
    mix plushie.gui MyApp --no-watch

## Options

- `--build` -- Build the plushie binary before starting
- `--release` -- Use the release build
- `--json` -- Use JSON wire protocol (debugging)
- `--watch` -- Enable file watching and live reload
- `--no-watch` -- Disable file watching
- `--debounce` -- File watch debounce interval in ms (default: 100)
- `--daemon` -- Keep running after the last window closes

## File watching

File watching is opt-in. Enable it with `--watch` or by setting
`config :plushie, code_reloader: true` in your config. When active,
editing any `.ex` file under `lib/` recompiles and updates the GUI
in place, preserving application state.
