_An ESBuild development plugin that watches for file changes and triggers automatic browser refreshes._
## Quick start
```sh
npm install -D @goauthentik/esbuild-plugin-live-reload
# Or with Yarn:
yarn add -D @goauthentik/esbuild-plugin-live-reload
```
### 1. Configure ESBuild
```js
import { liveReloadPlugin } from "@goauthentik/esbuild-plugin-live-reload";
import esbuild from "esbuild";
const NodeEnvironment = process.env.NODE_ENV || "development";
/**
* @type {esbuild.BuildOptions}
*/
const buildOptions = {
// ... Your build options.
define: {
"process.env.NODE_ENV": JSON.stringify(NodeEnvironment),
},
plugins: [
/** @see {@link LiveReloadPluginOptions} */
liveReloadPlugin(),
],
};
const buildContext = await esbuild.context(buildOptions);
await buildContext.rebuild();
await buildContext.watch();
```
### 2. Connect your browser
Add the following import near the beginning of your application's entry point.
```js
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
await import("@goauthentik/esbuild-plugin-live-reload/client");
}
```
That's it! Your browser will now automatically refresh whenever ESBuild finishes rebuilding your code.
