Gulp: How to implement livereload without Chrome's livereload plugin?

Question

It looks like gulp-livereload requires Chrome's livereload plugin to work.

Is there a way to implement livereload that doesn't require any browser plugin, and will work in all browsers?

Any examples will be appreciated.

Answer 1

How I've missed that.

You should add the livereload script in your index.html, and change the port to which you're currently using.

<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1"></script>

You may want to inject this only on a development version, so I think you should have a look to gulp-inject to get this behaviour.
