vite-plugin-full-reload

A Vite plugin that triggers a full page reload when specified files (e.g., server-rendered templates, routes) are modified. Current stable version is 1.2.0. Released as needed, with ~1 year between minor versions. Unlike HMR-based solutions, this plugin forces a complete browser refresh, making it ideal for frameworks like Ruby on Rails where HMR is not available for server-rendered assets. It uses picomatch for glob patterns, supports configurable root directory, delay, and 'always' option. The plugin is lightweight and does not create an extra chokidar watcher, relying on Vite's built-in file watching.
