This is alpha. On one hand, it has a dependency on “watchr”, which is not used but is required by autorefresh :( On the other hand, it is slow and I suspect there is flaw in the way the pusher socket is used …
Autorefresh guard allows to automatically reload your browser when ‘view’ files are modified.
It is using logankoester / autorefresh to do its job.
No need for a browser extension, it just works.
I wrote it in 3 pomodori as I could not make guard-livereload work on my machine and I did not want to bother installing an extension.
Please be sure to have Guard installed before continue.
Install the gem:
gem install guard-autorefresh
Add it to your Gemfile (inside development group):
gem 'guard-autorefresh'
Add guard definition to your Guardfile by running this command:
guard init autorefresh
Add autorefresh socket setup to your layout files:
<head>
<%= AutoRefresh.channel('my_awesome_app') if Rails.env.development? %>
</head>
Do not rename ‘my_awesome_app’, your app must be awesome and it is hardcoded inside the library.
Please read Guard usage doc
You can adapt your ‘view’ files like you want. Please read Guard doc for more info about Guardfile DSL.
guard 'autorefresh' do watch(%r{app/.+\.(erb|haml)}) watch(%r{app/helpers/.+\.rb}) watch(%r{(public/|app/assets).+\.(css|js|html)}) watch(%r{(app/assets/.+\.css)\.scss}) { |m| m[1] } watch(%r{(app/assets/.+\.js)\.coffee}) { |m| m[1] } watch(%r{config/locales/.+\.yml}) end
