Description

For a long time I used gulp and JS based BrowserReload to auto reload when a change is made in CSS/JS.
Recently I converted my projects to use https://github.com/adamchainz/django-browser-reload

Rationale

  • It makes sense to use a Python based browser reloader as it should be compatible with all frontend pipelines.
  • Reduce the javascript dependencies and the complexity of the gulp file
  • django-browser-reload fixes some of the issues I had with the JS one. Multi tab, reload concurrency
  • django-browser-reload is made for django by django people and my experience with it has been extremely smooth
