Automatically reloads your browser when a template, css or javascript file was modified.
Project description
django-debug-toolbar-autoreload
THIS MODULE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED
I decided to stop the development on this project since there are now more mature solutions to the same problem. I personally prefer to use gulp to observe files for changes and to start a livereload server that can be used with your browser’s livereload plugin.
Here is an example gulpfile.js that does nearly the same as the autoreload feature of this package:
var gulp = require('gulp'), livereload = require('gulp-livereload'), watch = require('gulp-watch'); var watchPaths = [ 'templates/**.html', 'static/**.js', 'static/**.css', ]; gulp.task('watch', function() { gulp.src(watchPaths) .pipe(watch()) .pipe(livereload()); });If you still have interest in this project and want to maintain it, just drop me a message and we can discuss the details.
This package contains an extra panel for the excellent django-debug-toolbar.
The purpose is to automatically reload the page if a template that was used to render the current page is changed. It is for your browser what the runserver’s auto-reload feature is for your python code.

Install
Put the debug_toolbar_autoreload source folder in your PYTHONPATH.
Add 'debug_toolbar_autoreload' to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.
Add 'debug_toolbar_autoreload.AutoreloadPanel' to your DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS.
This means your settings file should look something like:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ... other apps ...
'debug_toolbar',
'debug_toolbar_autoreload',
)
DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PANELS = (
# default panels
'debug_toolbar.panels.version.VersionDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.timer.TimerDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.settings_vars.SettingsVarsDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.headers.HeaderDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.profiling.ProfilingDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.request_vars.RequestVarsDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.sql.SQLDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.template.TemplateDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.cache.CacheDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.signals.SignalDebugPanel',
'debug_toolbar.panels.logger.LoggingPanel',
# autoreload panel
'debug_toolbar_autoreload.AutoreloadPanel',
)
Requirements: Django 1.4 or higher is required since we need a multithreaded development server.
