A simple web development server which supports rewrite and live-reload.
livereload #
A simple Dart development server that serves a web app, automatically refreshes when there's a change, and is compatible with single page apllications (SPA) that utilize the history API.
dartdocs.org uses Dart 1.x SDK to generate docs and fails to build, so I need to build the docs myself.
Installation #
The implementation of this package is just a proxy server that passes requests to package: build_runner. So, it needs to be installed along with this package.
dependencies:
livereload:
dev_dependencies:
build_runner:
build_web_compilers:
Usage #
After running pub get --no-precompile, add this to your main.dart.
import 'package:livereload/client.dart';
main() {
new ReloadListener().listen();
// continue with your code...
}
and run
pub run livereload
If you are going to build an SPA, make sure to add a proper <base> so that your routing works.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- This <base> is needed. -->
<base href="/">
<script defer src="main.dart.js"></script>
<title>SPA</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- AngularDart with angular_router -->
<my-app>Loading...</my-app>

Command Line Options #
Since this runs pub run build_runner serve under the hood, most of the options replicates those of package: build_runner.
pub run livereload [<directory>:<port>] [options]
By default, the directory is web and the port number is 8080. Please note that this package does not support serving more than one directory at a time, because it would complicate the CLI options. If it is needed, please file an issue. Furthermore, PRs are welcome.
- -l, --low-resources-mode: Reduces the amount of memory consumed by the build process.
- -c, --config: Reads
build.<name>.yamlinstead of the defaultbuild.yaml. (required:build_runner >= 0.7.8) - -v, --verbose: Enables verbose logging.
- --define: Sets the global
optionsconfig for a builder by key. As an example, enabling the dart2js compiler would look like:--define "build_web_compilers|entrypoint=compiler=dart2js"(required:build_runner >= 0.7.9) - --hostname: Specifies the hostname to serve on. (defaults to "localhost")
- --proxy-port: Changes the port number of the proxy server. (defaults to "8000")
- --websocket-port: Changes the port number of the websocket. (defaults to "4242")
- --[no-]spa: Serves a single page application. This allows routes controlled by history API to be working. (defaults to on)
Some of the options from package: build_runner are intentionally left out, since it wouldn't match the use case of this package.
