grip VS Live Server

A popular implementation of the idea written in Python:

For creating static web pages I usually use grip [1] to convert markdown. If you’re lazy this even works as a blog. I suppose if you’re even lazier you can just use a GitHub repo directly.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

If you cannot push markdown notes to a git hosting platform and must have a local markdown previewer, have you tried grip installed via pip?

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Check out grip: it’s a Markdown previewer that runs in the background, checks for updates, and renders the output to HTML on a locally running server. The nice things is that changes to the Markdown document are updated automatically and immediately.

Now serve this basic page on port 4000 (You can use in-built Live Server if you are using Visual Studio Code OR You can use Live Server package)

It still uses some JavaScript inside the browser. Have you tried just pointing a web server at the build output (e.g. live-server)?

For example, PHP provides a builtin testing server; I think python has one too, and there are various options for nodejs, e.g. live-server.

live-server - npm

I made a plugin for vim/nvim that allows you to use Live Server for editing your html, css and js files with automatic reload on changes. It uses this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server.

Could try https://github.com/tapio/live-server which you would run with the entry file being your html file. Just need to start it inside a terminal somewhere.

The CSS will be defined in JavaScript files. We will use JavaScript modules to split the code into separate modules that can be imported and exported, so we’ll need a local HTTP server to run the code. We need to do this because JavaScript modules follow the same-origin policy, which means that you cannot import modules from your file system by default. To get a local server with live reload, you can install the npm Live Server package. If you are using VS Code, you can install the Live Server extension.

ended up using live-reload. https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server

You can install live-server separately and run it from terminal https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server

Check live-server out. It auto reloads the page when you save any of the files (html, css, jss) in the folder.
