Statik

A configurable watch/autoreload development server. Watch directories for changes and run commands

Install

Get a binary release for Linux or clone and compile with Go

wget https://github.com/synw/statik/releases/download/0.1.0/statik
chmod a+x statik

Watchers

Create a statik.config.json file and set the watchers

Syntax: directory: [list_of_commands]

{
  "watch": {
    "src": [
      "yarn buildsrc"
    ],
    "lib": [
      "yarn buildlib"
    ]
  }
}

To run the server:

./statik

Autoreload

Add this to the index.html to enable the autoreload feature:

<script type="text/javascript">
  const ip = "localhost"; // The ip of the server: ex: 192.168.1.3 or localhost
  (function () {
    var conn = new WebSocket("ws://" + ip + ":8042/ws");
    conn.onmessage = function (evt) {
      window.location.reload();
    }
  })();
</script>
