but the page does not reload

Answer 1

I found a solution on github page

include script in package.json file

"browser": "ionic-app-scripts serve --sourceMap source-map --iscordovaserve --wwwDir platforms/browser/www/ --buildDir platforms/browser/www/build"

and run

npm run browser

Answer 2

When you run the command ionic cordova run browser --livereload, you will see something like this in the CLI:

[19:39:00]  dev server running: http://localhost:8100/ 

[INFO] Development server running
       Local: http://localhost:8100
       External: http://192.168.0.51:8100

http://192.168.0.51:8100 http://localhost:8100 . , http://localhost:8000 8100

Answer 3

Using this command browser will restart automatically.

ionic serve

If you want to run the application on a different platform in a browser, you can use this command:

ionic serve -l

This command will automatically reload the page when the code changes.
