Django development server has the neat capability of reloading itself whenever the project's python source files are saved, ensuring that the latest version of the project is served at all times. However, to see the changes in the browser, you need manually refresh the relevant page or resort to incorporating a Javascript such as live.js in our source which will keep sending HEAD requests to the server to see if the page has changed and if it has reload the page.
The former approach obviously is repetitive and needlessly painful. The latter approach works fine, but it results in additional requests to your server, something that you may be able to live with or if you're like me, you don't appreciate too much.
Django-autorefresh is a solution to address this.
To use, install this plugin and add the Django app autorefresh to your INSTALLED_APPS. Django app is available at https://github.com/harikvpy/django-autorefresh.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
