Middleman-Livereload

middleman-livereload is an extension for the Middleman static site generator that adds livereloading functionality.

Installation

If you're just getting started, install the middleman gem and generate a new project:

gem install middleman
middleman init MY_PROJECT

If you already have a Middleman project: Add gem "middleman-livereload", "~> 3.3.0" to your Gemfile and run bundle install

Configuration

activate :livereload

The extension supports a number of options that can be given to the activate statement. Eg:

activate :livereload, :apply_js_live => false

:host and :port

Livereload's listener host/port, these options get passed to ::Rack::LiveReload middleware. Defaults:'0.0.0.0' and '35729'.

:apply_js_live and :apply_css_live

Whether live reload should attempt to reload javascript / css 'in-place', without complete reload of the page. Both default to true.

⚠️ It does not work with @import'ed CSS files or require'd JS files (because of LiveReload not providing enough information regarding dependencies). On those kind of files, a full page reload will be triggered.

:no_swf

Disable Flash polyfil for browsers that support native WebSockets.
