When submitting code, please keep commits small, and do not modify the README file. Before submitting a pull request, open a new issue to discuss your feature or bug. ContributingĬontributions welcome, but remember that this library is meant to be small and serve its intended purpose only. To build the distributable versions, run npm run build. It may eventually be converted to JavaScript, but because there are many projects that depend on this library, the conversion isn't a priority. This library is implemented in CoffeeScript 1.x. You can disable swapfiles in your editor, or you can add a slight delay to Livereload using the -w option on the command line. Your editor is most likely using a swapfile, and when you save, there's a split second where the existing file is deleted from the file system before the swap file is saved in its place. When I change the HTML page I'm working on, the browser refreshes and tells me the file isn't found. Alternatively, embed the livereload.js script on your page as shown in this README.

If you're using file:/// urls, make sure the browser extension is configured to access local files. Troubleshooting The browser extension doesn't connect. When /User/Workspace/test/css/style.css is modified, the stylesheet will be reloaded on the page. All directories have the same configuration options. Passing an array of paths or glob patterns will allow you to watch multiple directories. (ie: when the server is ready to start accepting connections) Watching multiple paths: The second argument is an optional callback that will be sent to the LiveReload server and called for the listening event. (useful if you want to start it yourself later) noListen Pass as true to indicate that the websocket server should not be started automatically.Useful if the browser is reloading/refreshing before a file has been compiled, for example, by browserify. delay add a delay (in miliseconds) between when livereload detects a change to the filesystem and when it notifies the browser.

Set this to true to successfully watch files over a network. usePolling Poll for file system changes.This lets you edit local CSS files but view a live site. overrideURL lets you specify a different host for CSS files.originalPath Set URL you use for development, e.g 'http:/', then LiveReload will proxy this url to local path.exclusions lets you specify files to ignore.Namely for these extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif applyImgLive tells LiveReload to reload image files in the background instead of refreshing the page.appl圜SSLive tells LiveReload to reload CSS files in the background instead of refreshing the page.extraExts is an array of extensions you want to observe.This overrides the default extensions of. exts is an array of extensions you want to observe.It defaults to 35729 which is what the LiveReload extensions use currently. https is an optional object of options to be passed to https.createServer (if not provided, http.createServer is used instead).The first are some configuration options, passed as a JavaScript object: The createServer() method accepts two arguments. You can then start up the server which will listen on port 3000. listen ( 3000 ) var livereload = require ( 'livereload' ) var lrserver = livereload. use ( static ( _dirname + '/public' ) ) server.
