replenish
Development utility to trigger reload of a web page in a browser (alternative to LiveReload).
Requirements
- Node.js
Install
npm install --save-dev replenish
Usage
Add the following script to your package.json:
"scripts": {
"replenish": "replenish"
}
Now you can add replenish to other scripts or use it from the command line: npm run replenish.
Use the npm run replenish command any time you want to perform a reload.
Example of client side setup (1s polling interval):
let timestamp = Date.now();
let request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onload = function() {
if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 400) {
if (JSON.parse(this.response).updated > timestamp) {
location.reload();
}
}
};
setInterval(() => {
dummy = Date.now();
request.open("GET", "./node_modules/replenish/state.json?q=" + dummy, true);
request.send();
}, 1000);
