webpack-livereload-plugin

LiveReload plugin for Webpack that triggers browser reloads when assets change during `webpack --watch`. Current stable version is 3.0.2, actively maintained. It differs from webpack-dev-server by being designed for cases where assets are served by an external app server (e.g., a backend framework) while still benefiting from LiveReload. Uses tiny-lr under the hood. Supports HTTPS, custom ports/hostnames, optional script injection, file ignoring, delay, and source hash/size change detection to avoid duplicate reloads. Works with both Webpack 4 and 5.
