Chromereload

A small chrome extension endpoint for livereload I build for my chrome-extension-kickstarter.

Install

npm install --save-dev chromereload

Features

• reconnect after livereload restart
• reduce amout of reloads
• supports reload of non chrome pages

Usage

Include the module in your chrome extension context (backgroundscript/contentscript/etc.).

import ChromeReload from 'chromereload';

new ChromeReload({
  host: 'localhost'
  port: 35729,
  reconnectTime: 3000 /* ms */,
  debug: true
});

For convenience you can also import the lib without configuring it:

import 'chromereload/devonly';

this only works if process.env.NODE_ENV is set to development.
