## Installation
### Rails
Add the gem to your Gemfile.
In `config/environments/development.rb`:
```ruby
gem "rack-livereload", :group => :development
```
Then add the middleware to your Rails middleware stack by editing your `config/environments/development.rb`.
```ruby
# config/environments/development.rb
``` ruby
MyApp::Application.configure do
config.middleware.insert_after(ActionDispatch::Static, Rack::LiveReload)
# Add Rack::LiveReload to the bottom of the middleware stack with the default options.
config.middleware.use Rack::LiveReload
# ...or, change some options...
config.middleware.insert_before(
Rack::Lock, Rack::LiveReload,
:min_delay => 500,
:max_delay => 10000,
:live_reload_port => 56789,
:host => 'myhost.cool.wow',
:ignore => [ %r{dont/modify\.html$} ]
)
# ...
end
```
### config.ru/Sinatra
#### Tweaking the options
```ruby
# Specifying Rack::LiveReload options.
config.middleware.use(Rack::LiveReload,
:min_delay => 500, # default 1000
:max_delay => 10_000, # default 60_000
:live_reload_port => 56789, # default 35729
:host => 'myhost.cool.wow',
:ignore => [ %r{dont/modify\.html$} ]
)
```
In addition, Rack::LiveReload's position within middleware stack can be specified by inserting it relative to an exsiting middleware via `insert_before` or `insert_after`. See the [Rails on Rack: Adding a Middleware](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_on_rack.html#adding-a-middleware) section for more detail.
### Sinatra / config.ru
``` ruby
require 'rack-livereload'
