Important

Pattern Lab is no longer actively maintained. All repositories, along with the rest of the @pattern-lab ecosystem on GitHub and npm, have been deprecated and archived. The code, releases, and history remain available so the work stays discoverable and forks can continue independently under the MIT license. No new releases, security patches, or issue triage will be performed. [Read the full message](https://github.com/pattern-lab), and thank you.

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

```
