## WatchEnabled

- Name: `WatchEnabled`
- Modifiers: `get; init`
- Returns: `bool`
- Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/b5f143315ffb6968ea939a9978797a5b20e4c688/src/Aspire.Hosting/RunConfiguration.cs)

Indicates that resources should start in watch mode if able.

```csharp
public bool WatchEnabled { get; init; }
```

## Remarks

Integrations that support watch can launch their resources so that source changes are hot-reloaded. This is a hint: integrations that cannot watch their resources should start them in normal fashion.
