Vite Plugin Live Reload

vite-plugin-live-reload is a simple Vite plugin that triggers a full page reload when watched files change. Current stable version is 3.1.0, with a release cadence of occasional minor/patch updates. It uses chokidar under the hood and supports glob patterns, multiple paths, a custom root, and an alwaysReload option. Unlike Vite's built-in HMR, this plugin targets backend-driven projects (e.g., Kirby CMS, PHP, Rails) where file changes on the server side need to trigger a browser reload. It has zero runtime dependencies beyond Vite (peer dep vite ^4 || ^5 || ^6 || ^7 || ^8) and ships TypeScript definitions.
