ember-cli-inject-live-reload

What is ember-cli-inject-live-reload?

The ember-cli-inject-live-reload package is an Ember CLI addon that injects live-reload functionality into your Ember application. This allows for automatic reloading of the application in the browser whenever changes are detected in the source code, which significantly speeds up the development process.

What are ember-cli-inject-live-reload's main functionalities?

Automatic Live Reload

This feature enables automatic live reloading of the application whenever changes are detected in the source code. By setting `liveReload: true` in the EmberApp configuration, the addon will inject the necessary scripts to enable live reloading.

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    liveReload: true
  });
  return app.toTree();
};

Custom Live Reload Port

This feature allows you to specify a custom port for the live reload server. By setting the `port` option within the `liveReload` configuration, you can control which port the live reload server listens on.

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    liveReload: {
      port: 35729
    }
  });
  return app.toTree();
};

Live Reload Host

This feature allows you to specify a custom host for the live reload server. By setting the `host` option within the `liveReload` configuration, you can control which host the live reload server uses.

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    liveReload: {
      host: 'localhost'
    }
  });
  return app.toTree();
};

Other packages similar to ember-cli-inject-live-reload

browser-sync

BrowserSync is a powerful tool for synchronizing file changes across multiple devices and browsers. It provides live reloading, CSS injection, and synchronized interactions. Compared to ember-cli-inject-live-reload, BrowserSync offers more advanced features like synchronized scrolling and form replication, but it requires additional setup outside of the Ember CLI ecosystem.

livereload

The livereload package is a standalone tool that provides live reloading functionality for any web project. It watches for file changes and automatically reloads the browser. While it offers similar live reloading capabilities as ember-cli-inject-live-reload, it is not specifically tailored for Ember applications and requires manual integration.

webpack-dev-server

Webpack Dev Server is a development server that provides live reloading and hot module replacement for projects using Webpack. It offers more advanced features like hot module replacement, which allows for updating modules without a full page reload. However, it is designed for use with Webpack and may require additional configuration to work with Ember applications.
