# Livereloader

Simple HTTP server with livereload functionality. No setup, other apps or browser extensions required.

## DEPRECATED: I switched to [browser-sync](http://www.browsersync.io/).

Install browser-sync:
```
npm install -g browser-sync
```

Then put an alias into your `~/.bashrc`:
```
alias s="browser-sync start --server --directory --files '**/*'"
```

You are done, use the `s` command inside your project.

---

## Install

```
npm install -g livereloader
```

## Usage

```
cd /path/to/project
livereloader
```

Then open your browser `http://localhost:3000`. Edit project files and the browser will automatically reloads on change.

## Options
```
-h, --help - Show help usage
-v, --version - Show package version
-p, --port - Serving files on this port (default: 3000)
-l, --lport - Livereload server on this port (default: 35729)
-d, --dir - Directory to serve files from (default current working directory)
-e, --exts - List of extensions you want to observe
-E, --exclusions - List of files to ignore
--livecss - Reload CSS files without refreshing the page (default: true)
--livejs - Reload JavaScript files without refresing the page (default: false)
```

## Details

Based on [better-livereload](https://github.com/Leftium/node-livereload) and [connect-livereload](https://github.com/intesso/connect-livereload).
