How can i set auto reload on a directory?

[Mike Nelson]

Hi, I think this is a pretty simple one.

How can I make a json config file to reload the browser (full refresh) when any files in a particular directory are changed (within my editor).

Projects are virtual directories off localhost eg localhost/project1/ localhost/project2/ etc

These do not map exactly to physical directories so I'm thinking I need to set up a tincr.json file containing each virtual directory and corresponding physical directory. Files do not map to URLs (eg I can modify a controller or a view or other files) so I just want any file in the given folder to reload the browser if the browser is on any page on localhost.

Thanks

To my knowlegde you can't do this with json config.

One workarround for this is to set project1.localhost/ , project2.localhost/  and then specify different root directory for different projects.

Thanks. OK, so how do I just simply say any file changed should autoreload any page? Like if I modify a view anywhere under the root folder, it will autoreload the browser if I am anywhere on localhost. 

Is that possible? Otherwise that would mean you would need to repeat all your routing configuration in the tincr.json file?
