Laravel 5 Elixir with LiveReload custom task

gulpfile.js

// require the file
require('./gulp_tasks/watch');

// Call the new task in Laravel Elixir file
elixir(function(mix)) {
    mix.watch();
});

watch.js

var gulp        = require('gulp');
var _           = require('underscore');
var config      = require('laravel-elixir').config;
var inSequence  = require('run-sequence');
var livereload  = require('gulp-livereload');
var elixir      = require('laravel-elixir');

var srcPaths;
var tasksToRun;

elixir.extend('watch', function () {
	gulp.task('watch', function() {

		livereload.listen();

		srcPaths = config.watchers.default;
		tasksToRun = _.intersection(config.tasks, _.keys(srcPaths).concat('publish'));
		inSequence.apply(this, tasksToRun.concat('watch-assets'));

		gulp.on('stop', function(){
			livereload.changed("Application");
		});

	});

	gulp.task('watch-assets', function() {
		for (task in srcPaths) {
			gulp.watch(srcPaths[task], [task]);
		}
	});
});

This won't be maintained anymore. Switch to browserSync with Laravel 5 instead.
