electroload v1.0.2

Electroload

Hot-reloading module for electron single page web-apps

Installation

$ yarn add electroload

Usage

Just initialize this module with desired glob or file path to watch and let it refresh electron browser windows as targets are changed:

import { app, BrowserWindow } from "electron";
import electroload from "electroload";
import * as path from "path";

const targetFile = path.join(__dirname, "..", "renderer", "app.html");
const targetUri = `file://${targetFile}`;

// Enable live reloading!
electroload(targetFile, targetUri);

Why this module?

Other hot-reloading solutions didn't provide typing support and lacked the ability to reload specific offline uris (useful for offline SPAs)
