Getting this to work with livereload #116

Closed jme783 closed 9 years ago

Hi there!

Thanks for the library, super awesome! I was wondering if there was a way to get this working with live reload to avoid having to stop/restart the server every time a .hbs file changes. Currently, I'm using Grunt and would love to trigger livereload based on when a handlebars file changes.

Thanks!

Jeff

When the node process and Express app are in development mode (which is is by default), the templates are always loaded from disk every request. So it sounds like you'll want to setup your live reload config to only refresh the browser when a template changes, but not restart the server since that won't be necessary.

Oh awesome, thanks @ericf appreciate the answer. I'll close out the ticket.
