# autoreload_server
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/autoreload_server)
[](https://github.com/yoshoku/autoreload_server/blob/main/LICENSE.txt)
A simple web server for local development that provides an auto-reloading feature. It automatically refreshes the browser when a file is changed.
## Installation
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
```bash
bundle add autoreload_server
```
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
```bash
gem install autoreload_server
```
## Usage
The `autoreload-server` command starts a web server with the specified directory as the document root.
```sh
$ ls -1 public/
index.html
$ autoreload-server public
```
Once the server is running, access http://localhost:4000/.
When you modify a file in the `public` directory, the browser will automatically reload.
