browser-sync-close-hook

browser-sync-close-hook
---
Closes Browser Tabs which are connected to browserSync once browserSync disconnects (when stopping gulp for example).

Install
---
``sh
> npm install browser-sync-close-hook --save-dev
`

Usage in gulpfile.js
---
`js
const autoClose = require('browser-sync-close-hook');

gulp.task('serve', ['watch'], () => {
browserSync.use({
plugin() {},
hooks: {
'client:js': autoClose, // <-- important part
},
});

browserSync({
ui: false,
notify: false,
server: {
baseDir: './public',
middleware: [historyApiFallback()],
},
});
});
`

Source
---
The only thing this module does is exporting a function string which useses the clients browsers window.close function to close the tab.
`js
module.exports = "___browserSync___.socket.on('disconnect', window.close.bind(window));";
``
