This project has one public module (livereload_server) which exposes one public class (livereload_server.LiveReloadingStaticServer).

It can be used like:

server = LiveReloadingStaticServer(path_to_serve, host="localhost", port=8000)
async with server:
    # The server is serving at the provided host and port.
    await asyncio.sleep(100)
    await server.reload("*")  # reload all paths
# The server is not serving at this point.
# It can be used in another `async with` block

An aiohttp static file server that implements the livereload protocol.

Methods:

• __init__(path_to_serve: Path, *, host: str, port: int)

  Initialize the server, providing information needed by the server to serve a directory.

• async reload(path: str)

  Reload the given path on all open windows. The LiveReload protocol documents this as:

  as full as possible/known, absolute path preferred, file name only is OK

  It is not documented in the protocol but passing * reloads all paths on all open windows.

• url: str (readonly)

  URL that can be used to access the HTTP web server.

• async __aenter__(...)

  Start the live reloading server, in an async with block.

• async __aexit__(...)

  Stop the live reloading server, in an async with block.
