Plug - Reload template file automatically?

I have a very basic Plug server with an EEx file. When I change the EEx template file, I have to restart the server for the changes to be available. With as little complexity as possible, how do I make it so I can hit F5 to see my latest template? Thanks.

I figured out how to write a simple plug that does this:

Remember that Mix does not exist in a release, so you should put the plug declaration for it in a check for the environment or test if the Mix.Task module exists in your plug’s init or so?

Yes. I do that in my code, but I forgot to include it in the Markdown file above. I don’t do anything to the connection if I am not in :dev.

Thanks!
