i was trying to use live reload on my ionic 2 application. so i found this command
ionic run browser --live-reload
is not working as expected
When you run the command ionic cordova run browser --livereload
you will see something like this in CLI:
[19:39:00] dev server running: http://localhost:8100/
[INFO] Development server running
Local: http://localhost:8100
External: http://192.168.0.51:8100
Just open http://192.168.0.51:8100 or http://localhost:8100 and your live reload will work on that address. Your browser might have opened in http://localhost:8000 instead of 8100
First off, should anyone need this answer, the command has been renamed in the later version to
ionic cordova run browser
Second, The --livereload flag is not supported when you run this command. this issue explains more
Try This
ionic cordova run browser --livereload --consolelogs --serverlogs
Using this command browser will be reloaded automatically.
ionic serve
If you want to run application with different platform in browser you can use this command :
ionic serve -l
This both command will reload page automatically on code change
i found the solution on the github page
include a script in the package.json file
"browser": "ionic-app-scripts serve --sourceMap source-map --iscordovaserve --wwwDir platforms/browser/www/ --buildDir platforms/browser/www/build"
and run
npm run browser
