LivePage

Overview

LivePage is a developer tool which reloads website resources (such as CSS, LESS, HTML and JavaScript) as they change on the server, so you are always looking at the most up-to-date version of a web page. It can make developing websites a lot faster, by helping productivity.

Key features are:

• LESS support
• Entire domains can be made live
• file:// protocol is now supported

It's recommended you use this extension in a development environment (Such as XAMPP).

Changelog

All future milestones & current issues can be found on https://github.com/MikeRogers0/LivePage/issues

1.5.2

• Removing LESS support, the setup I had for LESS support was not viable long term. Instead LESS has its own way of keeping its own CSS fresh ( http://lesscss.org/usage/#using-less-in-the-browser-watch-mode ).

1.5.1

• Updating version of LESS from 1.3.0 to 1.4.1

1.5.0

• Support added for monitoring additional html, css, js and less files using in your HTML (Thank you to micflan for this).
• Improved support for where @import is used in an externall CSS file (Thanks damirfoy!).

1.4.4

• Patching issue where @import was not working on file:// protocol.

1.4.3

• Fixing bug with inline CSS @imports not loading correctly.

1.4.2

• Adding support for @import
• Fixing bug where changing session will not affect superior resources.
• Adding option to ignore inline JavaScript & hidden form values.

• Improved fault tolerance when polling URLs

1.3.1.2

• Fixed bug where sometimes html changes were not detected.

1.3.1.1
