Tasks generator for LiveReload

npm install @runner/generator-livereload

Add to the scope:

var generator = require('@runner/generator-livereload');

Generate tasks according to the given config:

var tasks = generator({
    watch: [
        'build/develop/**/*',
        '!build/develop/**/*.map'
    ]
});

Add generated tasks to the runner instance:

var runner = require('@runner/core');

Object.assign(runner.tasks, tasks);

The following tasks will become available:

Task name	Description
`livereload:config`	prints the current configuration used for generated tasks
`livereload:start`	starts file changes monitoring, sends reload command on modifications
`livereload:stop`	stops watcher and server

Generator accepts two arguments: base configuration and additional options.

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
port	livereload server port (default: `35729`)
watch	file, dir, glob, or array passed to `watch` in chokidar
watchOptions	optional watcher options

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
prefix	an affix placed before a task name (default is `livereload:`)
suffix	a string added at the end of a task name (empty by default)

So it's possible to change generated tasks names:

Object.assign(runner.tasks,
    generator(config, {
        prefix: 'lr:',
        suffix: ':develop'
    })
);

It will add the following tasks:
