This is a small Golang utility that can be installed as part of a web server that facilitates browser page auto-refresh when the service is restarted via some live-relaod function
There are two components this utility provides:
- An http handler for a websocket endpoint
- A template that provides a JS script to include in a page's html that uses the websocket endpoint to detect when the server is operational.
When the websocket connection is lost, a retry on the client-side occurs until it is able to reconnect, at which point it reloads the page to pull in the latest changes.
This is most useful when combined with a server live reload tool (e.g., air).
