Here’s how to use it with Rails (our main backend engine) and with Ember-CLI (our default SPA framework). It will update code changes, synchronize scroll positions and form inputs automatically across all browsers and devices. The most important reason people chose Browsersync is: It is not constrained to a single device, it works across desktop and mobile devices at the same time. Of course, you can also write your own package if you want :) Sources are open, so feel free to contribute. Browsersync is ranked 1st while LiveReload is ranked 3rd. LiveReload has a great support from developers and it works for almost every setup and framework including Rails, Ember, Angular, and React.It could even work as a standalone server. Based on type of the change, the page is reloaded (when editing template markup) or the code is live-injected into our app (it currently supports images and stylesheets - including preprocessors). The server monitors our project files and when it detects any changes, it automatically notifies our client (browser). So I started looking for a way to change the LiveReload server port for one of my two applications. Without going too deep into specifics - the basic concept is that we inject a little JS snippet into our page, which communicates with the LiveReload server. ASP.NET Core Live Reload Middleware that monitors for file changes in your project at development time and automatically reloads the browsers active page. The LiveReload server is then also started twice, while the port it wants to use (35729) can obviously be bound to only once. To put it simply, LiveReload’s main function is to act as an automatic “refresh” button.


And guess what… It works! You probably want to know how, right? What’s it all about?
