FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Development_LiveReload

⚠️ FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ONLY — Production injection is disabled by default.

Injects the LiveReload browser auto-reload script into Magento 2 storefront and admin pages, so code changes refresh the browser without manual F5.

What it does

Injects the following tag just before </body> on every storefront and admin page:

The script is rendered by Development\LiveReload\Block\Head\LiveReloadScript, which reads the production guard before rendering.

A local LiveReload server (e.g. npx livereload ./pub) must serve /livereload.js for the browser to connect.

Safety model

Mode	`Allow in Production` flag	Behavior
`developer` / `default`	any	script injected
`production`	`No` (default)	not injected
`production`	`Yes`	script injected

Implementation: Development_Core (Development\Core\Model\ProductionGuard::isEnabled()), wired via a virtualType in etc/di.xml bound to the config path development/live_reload/allow_in_production, plus Block\Head\LiveReloadScript::_toHtml() — when disabled, returns an empty string so nothing reaches the page.

The block's getCacheKeyInfo() includes the flag, so layout/block cache stays consistent across toggles without needing a full cache flush.

Configuration

Panel path: Stores → Configuration → ⚠ Development Modules → Live Reload → General → Allow in Production

Default: No.
Changing the flag requires bin/magento cache:clean config layout block_html.

Install

Then start a LiveReload server pointing at your theme assets:

Kill switch

Security and performance considerations

Low security impact on its own — serves only static reload JS.
If left on in production with no LiveReload server running, every page load returns 404 on /livereload.js, polluting logs and breaking the page speed budget by a negligible margin.
The script is loaded with defer, so it does not block rendering.

File structure

Troubleshooting

Script doesn't appear: check bin/magento deploy:mode:show; if in production, check the flag; then cache:clean layout block_html.
Port mismatch: the path /livereload.js?port=443 is hardcoded in view/base/templates/head/livereload.phtml. Edit the template if your server uses a different port.
404 on /livereload.js: LiveReload server is not running — start it or disable this module.
