LiveRefresh - SublimeText2 Plugin

Your SublimeText2 will include a websocket-server which sends a signal to all clients when you save a file. This repository includes the browser- extensions/plugins too.

Supported Browsers

• Google Chrome
• Opera

Installation

You have three ways to install LiveRefresh: using git, installing it manually or using the SublimeText2 "Package Controll" (Available here: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control)

Install using git

To install this Plugin via git, simply browse to your 'Packages' folder like this:

for Windows

cd %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2/Packages

for OS X

cd ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages

for Linux

cd ~/.Sublime Text 2/Packages

for Portable Installations

cd PATH_TO_PORTABLE_INSTALLATION/Sublime Text 2/Data/Packages

and clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/PhilippSchaffrath/LiveRefresh

Install manually

• Download the files using the GitHub .zip download option
• Unzip the files and rename the folder to 'LiveRefresh'
• Copy the folder to your Sublime Text 2 'Packages' directory

Install using Package Control (NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS MOMENT)

If you are familiar with Package Control you definetly know what to do, if not, go to SublimeText2 - Package Control click on 'Install' and follow the instructions

How it works

The WebsocketServer running in SublimeText listens at port 1025. If you save a File, it will send "refresh" to all connected clients.

The included Chrome Extension allows you to connect to your SublimeText2. Simply insert host and port (defaults to 127.0.0.1:1025 if empty) and click "Connect", ready to go, your browser will now refresh and focus this tab when you save a File in SublimeText2.

Usage

• Install the SublimeText2 Plugin and restart the Application
• Install the Browser Plugin/Extension and restart the Browser
• Open both and start the Browser Plugin
• Connect the Browser to your IP and let it refresh :)
