LiveReload functionality integrated with your Django development environment
Project description
This django app adds a management command that starts a livereload server watching all your static files and templates as well as a custom runserver command that issues livereload requests when the development server is ready after a restart.
Installation
Install package:
$ pip install django-livereload-server
Add 'livereload' to the INSTALLED_APPS, before 'django.contrib.staticfiles' if this is used:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'livereload', ... )
Add 'livereload.middleware.LiveReloadScript' to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES (probably at the end):
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( ... 'livereload.middleware.LiveReloadScript', )
Or to MIDDLEWARE for Django >= 1.10:
MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'livereload.middleware.LiveReloadScript', ]
This will inject the livereload.js script into your webpages if DEBUG setting is on.
Configuration
If you need the livereload server to use a different host and port than the default 127.0.0.1 and 35729, specify them by setting LIVERELOAD_HOST and LIVERELOAD_PORT in settings.py.
Usage
Start the livereload server with:
$ ./manage.py livereload
Extra files and/or paths to watch for changes can be added as positional arguments. Host and port can be overridden with --host and port options.
Start the development server as usual with ./manage.py runserver. The command now accepts three additional options:
--nolivereload to disable livereload functionality
--livereload-host to override both default and settings file specified host address
--livereload-port to override both default and settings file specified port
Background
This project is based on a merge of python-livereload and django-livereload, excellent projects both and even better for smooth django development when combined.
