defmodule Phoenix.Endpoint.SyncCodeReloadPlug do
  @moduledoc ~S"""
  Wraps an Endpoint, attempting to sync with Phoenix's code reloader if 
  an exception is raising which indicates that we may be in the middle of a reload.

  We detect this by looking at the raised exception and seeing if it indicates
  that the endpoint is not defined. This indicates that the code reloader may be 
  mid way through a compile, and that we should attempt to retry the request
  after the compile has completed. This is also why this must be implemented in
  a separate module (one that is not recompiled in a typical code reload cycle),
  since otherwise it may be the case that the endpoint itself is not defined.
