(experimental)
is a extension for PM2 , The modern and stable CLI process manager for Node apps with native clusterization, monitoring, startup scripts and much more. It will automatically refresh the browser after you save a file.
Add the following code to your clientside template:
var socket = io.connect( 'http://localhost:3333');
socket.on( 'refresh', function(){
console.log('REFRESH!');
window.location.reload();
}); pm2 dev app.js
Currently it is only working with my fork of PM2: https://github.com/daslicht/pm2
Alternatively you could just modify your existing PM2 installation as the following: https://github.com/daslicht/pm2/commit/c59411771334e53ac334abfc9ca3dc5fdfd9c856
The global installed PM2 resides in the following folder on OSX: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2
