> Keep multiple browsers & devices in sync when building websites.
##Features
1. **Scroll** - I can keep your pages in sync when scrolling.
2. **Forms** - You fill out a form in one browser, I'll copy the data to all the others.
3. **Links** - I'll watch your clicks and make all the browser follow you.
4. **CSS injecting** - I can even watch your CSS files & inject them when they change.
5. **Live Reload** - I can also watch files like HTML and PHP & when they change I can reload all browsers for you.
6. **Built-in Server** - Yep, I can serve static files too. (this is the easiest option actually, explained later)
##When is it useful?
It's pretty useful when used with a single browser, watching a CSS file for changes & injecting it. But the real power comes when you're building responsive sites and using multiple devices/monitors because it can keep all browsers in sync & make your workflow much faster.
##How to install it?
```
npm install -g browser-sync
```
####If that doesn't work on a mac, try
```
sudo npm install -g browser-sync
```
##How to use it
Browser-sync is a command-line tool & the `-g` from the command above makes it available everywhere on your system. Just `cd` into your website and run one of the commands below. If any further instructions are needed, you'll be notified on the command line.
###Examples
```
// Watch ALL CSS files in a directory for changes
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css"
```
```
// Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a server
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css" --server
```
```
// Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a server & specify that the base dir should be "app"
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css" --server "app"
```
```
//Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a server & specify that the base dir should be "app" & with browser-sync disabled
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css" --server "app" --ghostMode false
```
###Example config file
If you want to, you can provide a config file instead of having to remember all of the command above. Also, a config file allows you to be more specific with options. Here's an example of one that you would put in the root of your project.
```
module.exports = {
files: "app/css/**/*.css",
host: "192.168.1.1"
ghostMode: {
links: true,
forms: true,
scroll: true
},
server: {
baseDir: "app"
}
};
```
Now, if you called the file `config.js`, you'd simple run
```
browser-sync --config config.js
```
##All available options for use in config file
###files - (default: null)
```
// single file
files: "app/css/style.css"
// multiple files
files: ["app/css/style.css", "app/css/ie.css"]
// multiple files with glob
files: "app/css/*.css"
// multiple globs
files: ["app/css/*.css", "app/**.*.html"]
```
###debugInfo - (default: true)
```
// Don't fill my terminal with info
debugInfo: false
// Give me as much info as possible
debugInfo: true
```
###host - (default: null)
```
// Leave this set as null & browser-sync will try to figure out the correct IP to use.
host: null
// Override host detection if you know the correct IP to use
host: "192.168.1.1"
```
###ghostMode - (default: { links: true, forms: true, scroll: true} )
```
// Here you can disable each feature individually
ghostMode: {
links: true,
forms: true,
scroll: true
}
// Or switch them all off in one go
ghostMode: false
```
###server - (default: null)
```
// Serve files from the app directory
server: {
baseDir: "app"
}
// Serve files from the root directory
server: {
baseDir: "./"
}
```
###open - (default: true) - when used with server
```
// Launch a browser window at the correct location
open: true
// Stop the browser from automatically opening
open: false
```
#Full config file example
Save this as `anything-you-like.js`
```
module.exports = {
files: "app/css/**/*.css",
debugInfo: true,
host: "192.168.1.1",
ghostMode: {
links: true,
forms: true,
scroll: true
},
server: {
baseDir: "app"
},
open: false
};
```
Now you can use it by calling it from the command-line
```
browser-sync --config anything-you-like.js
```
