laravel-elixir-livereload

laravel-elixir-livereload plugin for larvel-elixir and gulp

Installation

Using NPM to install Laravel Elixir Livereload and save your packages.json

For laravel-elixir >v3.x

npm install --save-dev laravel-elixir-livereload

For laravel-elixir < v2.x

npm install --save-dev laravel-elixir-livereload@"^0.0"

Or you can manually update your packages.json to include Laravel Elixir Livereload

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "^3.8.8",
    "laravel-elixir": "^3.0",
    "laravel-elixir-livereload": "^1.0"
  }
}

and then run npm install

Next, add it to your Elixir-enhanced Gulpfile, like so:

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
 
require('laravel-elixir-livereload');
 
elixir(function(mix) {
   mix.livereload();
});

Live reload also uses a script file so add the following to your blade templates.

@if ( Config::get('app.debug') )
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write('<script src="//localhost:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1" type="text/javascript"><\/script>')
  </script> 
@endif

That's it! You're all set to go!
