Roda Live Reload

A very primitive live-reload mechanism for Roda.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "roda-live_reload"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install roda-live_reload

Usage

After enabling the plugin, simply call r.live_reload inside your routing tree. You'll likely want to only enable it during development.

class App < Roda
  development = ENV.fetch("RACK_ENV", "development") == "development"

  plugin :live_reload if development

  route do |r|
    r.live_reload if development

    r.root { "Root" }
  end
end

Caveats

Live Reloading mechanism may not work with Webrick. Tested with Puma.

A new SIGINT trap is set per request, possibly bulldozing any previously set SIGINT. This may not be an issue for most, but it's something to be aware of.
