Rolling Your Own Live Reload
If you would like to trigger the live reload server yourself, simply POST files to the URL: http://localhost:35729/changed.
Or if you rather roll your own live reload implementation use the following example:, (*10)
# notify a single change
curl http://localhost:35729/changed?files=style.css
# notify using a longer path
curl http://localhost:35729/changed?files=js/app.js
# notify multiple changes, comma or space delimited
curl http://localhost:35729/changed?files=index.html,style.css,docs/docco.css
Or you can bulk the information into a POST request, with body as a JSON array of files., (*11)
curl -X POST http://localhost:35729/changed -d '{ "files": ["style.css", "app.js"] }'
# from a JSON file
node -pe 'JSON.stringify({ files: ["some.css", "files.css"] })' > files.json
curl -X POST -d @files.json http://localhost:35729
