bhr

Browserify hot reload server for single page applications. Chokidar watches for filesystem changes but you can hit ENTER to force reload.

Usage

The third and fourth examples show how to forward requests for certain paths to api servers

npm install -g browserify-hot-reload
bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js
bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js -p 8080
bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js -p 8080 --http localhost:8081/api/a --http localhost:8082/api/b
bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js -p 8080 --https your.prod.server:443/api

You can also specify a command to run whenever any of the watched paths change

bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js -c "npm run another-thing"

Envify

Envify is enabled so you can use process.env.VAR_NAME in source but note that destructuring process.env does not work

Lesscss

Lesscss is an easy way to keep css in multiple files and bundle to one

/* file: assets/main.less */
@import "home.less";
@import "about.less";
@import "login.less";
/* more css here ... */
/* more css here ... */

bhr main.js index.html assets/ -o dist/bundle.js --less assets/main.less
