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", "~> 3.4.3" 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'.

`:js_host` and `:js_port`

Similar to the :host and :port options, but allow you to specify a different host and port at the frontend Javascript level than at the backend EventMachine level. Useful when running behind a proxy or on a Docker VM. Defaults to :host and :port.

`: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.

:warning: 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.

`:ignore`

Array of patterns for paths that must be ignored. These files will not be injected with the LiveReload script.

String#match is used for ignoring, so you can use any valid Ruby regular expression in this array.

`:livereload_css_target`

CSS file to reload when detecting @imported partial was modified. Default stylesheets/all.css).
To opt out set livereload_css_target: nil.

`:livereload_css_pattern`

Regexp matching filenames that should trigger reload of :livereload_css_target when changed. Default: Regexp.new('_.*\.css').

`:wss_certificate` and `:wss_private_key`

Support secure sockets (WSS) by passing TLS certificate & private key, for example if you're using middleman server --https in development.
