Express Livereload

This is really small plugin for express, which will run LiveReload server simultaniously for development.

Installation

npm install express-livereload

Usage

livereload = require('express-livereload')
app        = express()

livereload(app, config={})

Static helper

This plugin will attach LRScript which renders the snippet for loading livereload.js script.

layout.jade

doctype 5
html
  head
    title= title
    link(rel='stylesheet', href='/stylesheets/style.css')
    != LRScript

compiled.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Express</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/style.css">
    <script>document.write('<script src="http://' + (location.host || 'localhost').split(':')[0] + ':35729/livereload.js"></' + 'script>')</script>
  </head>
</html>

Config options

config objects can accept same options as node-livereload does, but with one extra key to specify which directry to watch out for.

config.watchDir = /path/to/dir or process.cwd() + "/public"
