Live Server++
when there is a Live Server
?Actually, I was receiving a lot of emails, PR, comments (and also there was few issue request, e.g. #12080) - why auto reload only happens when we save the file
? - why it's not realtime?
... blah blah....
Well, in Live Server Extension, I'm using a popular npm module (named live-server
) and it's the core library of Live Server. (yaa! too many "Live Server" 😜). In the way it's working - it never possible auto reload without saving the file.
And yaa, to be honest, when I made (in mid of 2017
) the live server extension, I didn't know Node.js or JavaScript well (Hold on! I still don't know Node.js
but I'm now confident). I even didn't know promise
/callback
well. I understood the callback
(& callback hell
too) while making the extension. And Promise
? Only I knew how to use it like .then().then().then()
and IIFE
? or closure
? - I didn't even hear about those names at that time. 😬
Okay, now coming to the point, Code of the Live Server
can't be migrated with Live Server++
. Live Server++
is not depended on live-server
(the npm module) - I've written the server side code from scratch & it has minimal dependency (still under development).
