Command-line tool for making static web pages, reload page on save.
The page gets the message and then reload automatically.
Connecting and reloading from a another computor is ok.

You can install doodle from npm by:

sudo npm install -g doodle

Then run this command in your terminal to start waching,
both files and directories are fine:

doodle path1 path2 path3 dir1 dir2 dir3

There are some options you may config,
options are in the syntax of key:value, order is not required:

• log, print log or not:

doodle dir log:true
doodle dir log:yes
doodle dir log:on
doodle log:on dir

• port, the port serves doodle.js on http,
  by default, it's 7777:

doodle dir port:7777

• ws, the port websocket listens at,
  by default, it is options.http - 1:

doodle dir port:7776

• delay, the time between hear file change and trigger a callback,
  by default, it's 100

doodle dir delay:200

type doodle help: or doodle -h or doodle --help for the list.

• http, enable HTTP server for client-side listening script by default, it's false

Client script

• doodle-crx

doodle will open a ws:// server at port options.ws,

doodle-crx is recommanded if you are using chrome.

• add script by hand

You can add a <script> tag to you html file to reload,
using a command option http:yes to put doodle.js file at options.port.
the port corresponds to options.port:

script(src='http://localhost:7777/doodle.js')
