Trigger Refresh

Once the browser loads the page, you can trigger a reload by making a call to teh server at /_notify, like this:

curl localhost:8080/_notify

This will make the browser reload. You can add this command to a build script or to an IDE command, to have the browser automatically update without leaving your IDE.

Example

Running a remote package

wasmserve github.com/hajimehoshi/wasmserve/example

And open http://localhost:8080/ on your browser.

Example 2

Running a local package

git clone https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten # This might take several minutes.
cd ebiten
wasmserve ./examples/sprites

And open http://localhost:8080/ on your browser.

Known issue with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

This application sometimes does not work under WSL, due to bugs in WSL, see #5 for details.

Tips

• If you want to change the working directory to serve, you can use cd with parentheses:

(cd /path/to/working/dir; wasmserve github.com/yourname/yourpackage)

• To trigger a browser reload from a script, make a call to /_notify, like this:

curl http://localhost:8080/_notify

This will make the browser refresh the page.
