Automatically refresh a project when source files change
F5NoMore is a project for Web Developers to help them develop a more seamless workflow by monitoring a local project for changes and immediately reflecting updates in the browser (by automatically reloading the page).
HOW IT WORKS
--------------------------
F5NoMore is composed of two parts:
* Python Package
* Chrome Extension
The python script watches the filesystem for changes and when it sees changes it communicates with the extension which reloads the page.
INSTALL
------------------------
You need to install both the F5NoMore Python package and the F5NoMore Google Chrome Extension. You can install the chrome extension from this page.
Installing the python package
------------------------
There are three steps to install the python package:
* Install Python (https://www.python.org/download/)
* Install pip (http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html)
* Run "python -m pip install f5nomore"
You can find more info about the python package at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/F5NoMore
Usage
-----------------------
Once everything is installed you should start the python script with:
python -m f5nomore
Next you should set up the files you want to watch using the Chrome extension:
* Double click on the F5 icon to open the file select dialogue.
* Add a new project
* Open the new project by clicking the arrow to the left of it
* Select the file/folders you want to watch
* Close the dialog
Now click once on the F5 icon to toggle F5NoMore on and off in a given tab
