[question] How to reload on backend change (not css/js)? about live-reload HOT 7 CLOSED

You cannot reload on a backend change, but the backend change usually results in an updated source file URL and you could monitor that file.

Hi Blaise,

Yes, that was I am aiming at : reloading when the source change.

For info, I have a Go backend that produce html, which is reloaded on change (inotifywait magic).

In the screenshot above, I tried with http://localhost:4200/search/products/ (which was the url of my browser). But this was not working. Same with a trailing *, with or without the trailing /.
Is there something special to do ?

Thanks a lot.

So you want to update the page when the page itself is updated?

Does Host URL: http://localhost:4200/*, Source file URL: http://localhost:4200/* work for you?

No, the page is not updated on html change with this config. Css is.

• There is the badge with value 2 corresponding to the 2 css files loaded with the page.
• Here are the network call after a page reload, 3 resources (one html, 2 css) :
  
• Updated version to 1.8.1 and accepted the permission change (and restarted Firefox)

Is there a way to report the monitored resources in Firefox ?

Thanks Blaise.

@tomsquest I fixed this in Live Reload 1.8.2. If a source URL matches the host URL the page will monitor itself. Can you confirm it works?

Hi @blaise-io ,

It works with 1.8.2 !

Thanks a lot for the work (I read a bit of the code and there is much more that I thought !).

Tom
