01/25/2024, 1:05 PMHi Aleksei, thank you. I am using thymeleaf templates as per documentation of Ktor. I was able to use live reload while using Spring & spring boot devtools out of the box. I did not download livereload js to my static folder in the spring app. I think the server autowired it. I am looking for similar server side support in Ktor.
If required I can download livereload.js to my resources/js folder. But how would I start live reload server within ktor ?
