browser-sync
Advanced tools
Readme
Keep multiple browsers & devices in sync when building websites.
##Features
##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.
##Using Grunt? There's a plugin for that
##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 & HTML files in a directory for changes
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css, app/*.html"
Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a static server
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css" --server
Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a static 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 static server & specify that the base dir should be "app" & specify the index file (note the missing l)
browser-sync --files "app/css/*.css" --server "app" --index "index.htm"
Watch ALL CSS files for changes with a static 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
