taco-livereload

taco-livereload is a package intended to introduce the livereload functionality to TACO. it enables developers to have a short feedback loop when editing HTML/CSS/Javascript in a Cordova-based app.

Known Issues

• 'CTRL + C' does NOT work with cordova-ios (when deploying to a device) When dealing with cordova-ios(on MAC OSX), it is impossible to use 'CTRL + C' to exit livereload mode, due to an issue with the npm package 'ios-sim' which cordova-ios uses to deploy to iOS-based devices.

• LiveReload doesnt work with Ionic Base Template Livereload doesn't work with projects created with an Ionic Base Template (via taco create foo --template https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base). This is due to the fact that the cordova-plugin-whitelist plugin isn't part of the template's config.xml. To resolve it, do the following:

  • taco platform add cordova-plugin-whitelist --save
  • taco run <platform> --livereload
