Livereload index.html with Gulp

Question

I try to update my browser when I make changes to index.html at the root of my project. Livereloading works great when updating CSS. I removed the efforts I made to get this working in my gulpfile.js, below ...

Thanks!

sass = require('gulp-ruby-sass'),

});

// gulp.task('clean', function() {

gulp.task('watch', function() {

});    
});

// gulp.task('default', ['clean'], function() {
gulp.task('default', function() {

});

There may be a better way to do what you want to do.

Have you ever thought to use instance expressc livereload?

gulp-connect, , . livereload , . , , , .

gulp.task('serve', function(event) {
    connect.server({
        root: destinations.docs,
        port: 1987,
        livereload: true
    });
    // sets up a livereload that watches for any changes in the root
    watch({glob: [sources.html, sources.styles]})
        .pipe(connect.reload());
});

html , components/html, , :

gulp.task('html', function() {
    return gulp.src('components/html/**/*.html')
        .pipe(gulp.dest(''))
        .pipe(livereload(server))
        .pipe(notify({ message: 'HTML task complete' }));
});

:

// gulp.task('default', ['clean'], function() {
gulp.task('default', function() {
    gulp.start('styles', 'scripts', 'images', 'html');
});

:

gulp.task('watch', function() {

    server.listen(35729, function (err) {
        if (err) {
            return console.log(err)
        };
        // Watch .scss files
        gulp.watch('components/sass/*.scss', ['styles']);
        // Watch .js files
        gulp.watch('components/js/*.js', ['scripts']);
        // Watch image files
        gulp.watch('components/img/*', ['images']);
        // Watch html files
        gulp.watch('components/html/**/*.html', ['html']);
    });
});
