Reload Plugin for Pattern Lab
=============================

[](#reload-plugin-for-pattern-lab)

The Reload Plugin adds Web Socket-based automatic browser reload support to Pattern Lab. The Reload Plugin will automatically reload the Pattern Lab iFrame if you're using the `--watch` flag or `--server --with-watch` flag combo.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To add the Reload Plugin to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) type:

```
composer require pattern-lab/plugin-reload

```

See Packagist for [information on the latest release](https://packagist.org/packages/pattern-lab/plugin-reload).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The Reload Plugin is automatically turned on when you install it. Simply "watch" your project using the following command:

```
php core/console --watch

```

You can also run your server and watch your project at the same time:

```
php core/console --server --with-watch

```

Disabling the Plugin
--------------------

[](#disabling-the-plugin)

To disable the Reload Plugin you can either directly edit `./config/config.yml` or use the command line option:

```
php core/console --config --set plugins.reload.enabled=false

```
