Tasks generator for LiveReload

Installation

npm install runner-generator-livereload

Usage

Add to the scope:

const generator = require('runner-generator-livereload');

Generate tasks according to the given config:

const tasks = generator({
    watch: [
        'build/develop/**/*',
        '!build/develop/**/*.map'
    ]
});

Add generated tasks to the runner instance:

const runner = require('runner');

Object.assign(runner.tasks, tasks);

The following tasks will become available:

Task name	Description
livereload:config	prints the current configuration used for generated tasks
livereload:start	starts file changes monitoring, sends reload command on modifications
livereload:stop	stops watcher and server

Generator accepts two arguments: base configuration and additional options.

Base configuration

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
port	livereload server port (default: 35729)
watch	file, dir, glob, or array passed to watch in chokidar
watchOptions	optional watcher options

Additional options

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
prefix	an affix placed before a task name (default is livereload:)
suffix	a string added at the end of a task name (empty by default)

So it's possible to change generated tasks names:

Object.assign(runner.tasks,
    generator(config, {
        prefix: 'lr:',
        suffix: ':develop'
    })
);

It will add the following tasks:

• lr:config:develop
• lr:start:develop
• lr:stop:develop
