scottbert / gulp-handlebars-livereload Goto Github PK

Requires global gulp and gulp-cli to be installed

Also requires node/npm > 18.x.

If you have homebrew installed on OSX this is as easy as brew install node.

If you don't have homebrew on OSX, visit http://brew.sh

To run the demo, additionally check out https://github.com/scottlet/gulp-handlebars-livereload-src-example then copy into the root of this folder as "src" (This is now included by default as a git submodule)

NPM pre 7: npm install - NPM 7 and above: npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Then npm run develop to run the livereload local server ( http://localhost:9000 ) - also there will be a documentation server on http://localhost:9001

npm run deploy to deploy - this puts all of the required files into a deploy directory. You can now put this directory somewhere else and run it.
