I created the first project using Grunt. I have a problem, because after editing js files I need to restart server to apply the changes. When I edit JADE files I do not need restart server. And another problem: How do I add an auto-refresh browser after file changed?
My gruntfile:
'use strict';
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// show elapsed time at the end
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// load all grunt tasks
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
grunt.initConfig({
reload: {
port: 9000,
proxy: {
host: 'localhost'
}
},
// Watch Config
watch: {
files: ['views/**/*','routes/*'],
taksks: 'workon reload',
options: {
nospawn: true // Without this option specified express won't be reloaded
},
express: {
files: [ 'app.js', '!**/node_modules/**', '!Gruntfile.js' ],
tasks: [ 'express:dev' ],
options: {
nospawn: true // Without this option specified express won't be reloaded
}
}
},
// Clean Config
clean: {
dist: {
files: [{
dot: true,
src: [
'.tmp',
'dist/*',
'!dist/.git*'
]
}]
},
server: ['.tmp']
},
// Express Config
express: {
options: {
// Override defaults here
},
dev: {
options: {
script: './bin/www'
}
}
},
// Open Config
open: {
site: {
path: 'http://localhost:9000',
app: 'chrome'
}
}
});
// Register Tasks
// Workon
grunt.registerTask('workon', 'Start working on this project.', [
'express:dev',
'open:site',
'watch'
]);
// Restart
grunt.registerTask('restart', 'Restart the server.', [
'express:dev',
'open:site',
'reload',
'watch'
]);
// Build
grunt.registerTask('build', 'Build production ready assets and views.', [
'clean:dist',
'concurrent:dist',
'useminPrepare',
'imagemin',
'concat',
'cssmin',
'uglify',
'copy:dist',
'rev',
'usemin',
]);
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-express-server');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-open');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-reload');
};
EDIT: After reload server page load very slow:
Why?

livereload: {
options: {
livereload: '<%= connect.options.livereload %>'
},
files: [
]
}
I think this section of watch can help you
