Thanks for the feedback, it was received. As follow up actions, I've done the following changes:
- Changed things into a plugin - Added support for multiplatform support: `cordova run android ios --device -- --livereload` - Added the capability to mirror gestures: clicks, scrolls, form inputs - Made it so the user doesn't have to manually remove CSP anymore, it's done automatically - Cleaned up the code - Added ability to use '-- --livereload' flag, so no change is required in cordova-cli It would be great if you could provide further feedback: https://github.com/omefire/cordova-plugin-livereload Thanks, Mefire -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian LeRoux Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 11:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] CORDOVA AND LIVERELOAD also a -1 to core / most of the downstreams have livereload or hotreload baked into their respective frameworks On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 10:59 AM, Carlos Santana <[email protected]> wrote: > -1 to add to cordova-lib > > maybe to be a default plugin, but I'm with Jesse with this one lets > not add yet and lets be agile and iterate based on community feedback, > > there might be other better way to add the plugin than the default > template (i.e. cordova tool add livereload, etc..) lets see how it > goes for now > > Currently no a big fan of having the whitelist added by default, I > understand all the background from it but as high level view a plugin > is something you add is not something that comes included. > > > > > On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 1:44 PM Jesse <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Personally, I would rather we didn't force it thru. > > We don't include cordova-plugin-console which is a huge ease-of-use > > improvement, and it is tiny, and more arguably should be built in. > > If we get through a few versions, and it proves popular, and is > > working well, I may change my mind, but I would rather soft launch > > it instead of suddenly springing new developer debt on the project. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > My team is hiring! > > @purplecabbage > > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=risingj.com&data= > > 01%7c01%7commenjik%40microsoft.com%7ce21867b2bd9542b192c508d2ae486cb > > 0%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=zCcu7T0VKRwLqlr6BCXWN > > rPMZqbzuX4%2bcWaqD%2f9ej8c%3d > > > > On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 10:23 AM, Mefire O. <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > > > > > Also, to improve DISCOVERABILITY and EASE OF USE, I was thinking > > > about making the LiveReload tooling part of the default Cordova > > > experience by including the plugin in the default project template > > > or by it being in cordova-lib ( depending on what architectural choice we > > > make). > > > > > > It would only be turned on by including the --livereload from the CLI. > > > > > > Any thoughts ? > > > > > > > > > - > > > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fg > > > ithub.com%2fMSOpenTech%2fcordova-cli%2fcommits%2fLiveReload&data=0 > > > 1%7c01%7commenjik%40microsoft.com%7ce21867b2bd9542b192c508d2ae486c > > > b0%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=gWu1DeX0p6PI%2b8zM > > > Cu76cMQgIsPfKrOlGUos3rhmFPo%3d > > > - > > > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fg > > > ithub.com%2fomefire%2fcordova-plugin-livereload&data=01%7c01%7comm > > > enjik%40microsoft.com%7ce21867b2bd9542b192c508d2ae486cb0%7c72f988b > > > f86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=vzLznF3YibCj0SXDV%2bGZeANhNjQF > > > jnMoLCbyfo76p0w%3d > > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Mefire > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Mefire O.
