Proper way to use LiveReload with Laravel Elixir

Features

• It works without touching laravel-elixir source files, so it will not break on updates.
• It runs only on watch task, so that when you run other tasks, livereload will not start and hang the console.
• It performs soft-reloads on CSS changes, instead of a full page reload.

Instructions

1. npm install gulp-livereload if you still don't have it.
2. Create an elixir.json file on the root of your project (where your gulpfile.js is located)

<?php

/**
 * Generate a consistent* random color for a text input.
 * Consistent because it's based on MD5 hash for the input.
 * Since both MD5 and CSS colors uses hexa, a substring of the MD5 can be used.
 * Clever, huh?
 *
 * PS: you can get any substring of length 3 (for less colors) or 6 (for more colors) from your hash. Just don't
 * randomize it, or you will loose consistency.
