Live Reload

Live Reload is a server watcher, written in Deno, for TypeScript and JavaScript that will reload the server when it detects a change in any TypeScript or JavaScript file.

Usage

To use Live Reload, first have Deno installed, and then use a terminal and write:

deno run --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/live_reload@0.0.3/reload.ts --main=main.ts

Note that the argument for --main should be the main module for the server. Also the main module can also be a .js file too.

The --allow-read and --allow-run are needed because the program needs to access files and start subprocesses.

To restrict permissions, add command line arguments such as allow-net and allow-read. For example, to restrict the Deno subprocess to only read and net access use:

deno run --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/live_reload@0.0.3/reload.ts --main=main.ts allow-net allow-read

The list of permission arguments are available here.

Note that arguments for permissions leave off the '--' at the beginning of the permission and having no permisions is interpretted as having all permissions (-A).

To give no permissions use:

deno run --allow-read --allow-run https://deno.land/x/live_reload@0.0.3/reload.ts --main=main.ts allow-none
