atver

Simple file watcher for V-Lang

... nothing fancy here,

File Operations / Methods Watched:

• Write (modify, chmod)
• Delete (deleting the file from the system)

Note:

• This module utilizes the builtin library os ' function os.file_last_mod_unix
• API is based from GoLang's fsnotify

Demo

import atver

fn main() {
    // create a new watcher
    mut watcher := atver.new_watcher()

    // not sure about this one, 
    // [this will close the watcher.events channel, .. ]
    defer {
        watcher.stop()
    }

    // create channel
    // so that, the go routine below,
    // will not stop
    done := chan bool{}

    go fn (watcher &atver.Watcher) {
        for {
            select {
                e := <- watcher.events {
                    if e.op == .write{
                        println('$e.filename is modified')
                    } else if e.op == .delete{
                        println('$e.filename is removed / renamed')
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }(watcher)
    
    // add files to watch
    watcher.add_file('test.txt')
    watcher.add_file('test.v')
    watcher.add_file('test1.txt')

    done<-true
}
