AEM 6.x: Reload the page when the user switches layers

reloadOnLayerSwitch.js

// This must be in a client library with the category cq.authoring.editor.hook
/* global Granite, jQuery, document */
(function ($, channel) {
    'use strict';
    $(function () {
        var loadedTime = new Date();
        channel.on('cq-layer-activated', function (event) {
            if (event.prevLayer && event.layer !== event.prevLayer) {
                var eventTime = new Date();
                if (event.prevLayer !== 'Annotate' && event.layer !== 'Annotate' && (eventTime - loadedTime) > 1500) {
                    location.reload();
                }
            }
        });
    });
})(Granite.$, jQuery(document));

Updated to not refresh when going in/out of annotation mode (it was more annoying than it was useful)

Added logic to not refresh if page recently loaded -- this prevents refresh-of-death scenarios

Awesome, thank you for this!
