django-livereload 0.1

Twitter plugin for django-blog-zinnia

Application performing a LiveReload with tiny-lr once the development server has started.

Why this project ?

Recently I started to use Gulp and LiveReload to automatize some tasks. Once an HTML, CSS or JS has changed, a livereload is performed in the browser to reflect the changes, and I was pretty happy.

But I found one limitation, I cannot perform a livereload of the current page when I edit Python files, because the development server provided by Django is not necessary ready when the livereload request is emitted.

That’s why I created this application.

Installation

• First install the package on your system:

  $ pip install django-livereload

• Then register the 'livereload' application in your INSTALLED_APPS setting, after the 'django.contrib.staticfiles' application if used.

Usage

If the livereload server provided by tiny-lr is launched (via Gulp, Grunt or whatever), the runserver command will do a livereload on your browser when the Django development server is ready.
