rollup-plugin-livereload-client

🍣 A Rollup plugin which adds the LiveReload client for use during development

Installation

npm install --save-dev rollup-plugin-livereload-client

Usage

This plugin is meant to be used with plugins that output html, like @rollup/plugin-html.

// rollup.config.js
import html from "@rollup/plugin-html";
import livereloadClient from "rollup-plugin-livereload-client";

const development = process.env.ROLLUP_WATCH;

export default {
  entry: "entry.js",
  output: {
    dir: "build",
  },
  plugins: [html(), livereloadClient({ include: development })],
};

index.html will be modified to include a script tag to load livereload.js. Which will also be copied into the build directory.

Options

`include`

Type: Boolean
Default: true

Specifies whether to include the client. When true, livereload.js is copied into the output.dir and a <script> tag to load livereload.js is injected into index.html. Set to false in production so livereload is not included in the build.

`port`

Type: Number
Default: 35729

Specifies the port number that the separate livereload server is running on.

Attribution

This plugin is similar to rollup-plugin-livereload by Thomas Ghysels. The main difference being, this is the client only. I needed this to integrate with the LiveReload server already running in Spring Boot.
